The abandoned and derelict Red House sits at the start of Glen Geldie a good hours cycle ride from any sort of civilisation.
This cycle trip was supposed to be the start of a climb up two Munro's but it took us a lot longer to get there than anticipated and given the early nightfall this time of year, we abandoned the trip and just 'enjoyed' the cycling.
This was the location of Hardcastle Village and Minakin Row It lies above Vipoints Hill on Bental Head, Nidderdale, North Yorkshire
Minakin Row was behind the stand of trees with little to see now
The decline of the village is apparent from the census. In 1861 there were 20 households, fifty years later there are just 3. The last inhabitant hung on into the late 1960s at Minakin Row.
One remote house, Vipoints (previous photo) has been modernised and is now occupied lying to the right of the second open gateway. Through that gateway is the track to Lords Hall which has been demolished in 1965 and the stone sold to build a house in Summerbridge
This male eastern bluebird would perch on the same spot outside a nest while the female did her work going in and out with nest building materials.
To get this image, I setup the wifi connection on the camera to link it to my phone. That allowed me to stand back at a distance and wait for the blue bird to return to the spot. It works, but there is a considerable lag, so I wouldn't rely on it if you had to get a shot.
The image was taken in the morning with light reflecting off green brush in the distance. The bird was in the shade, so a flash was used to add some fill light.
Thank you for your visit, favourites and comments!

Der Breitenstein ist ein 811,2 m ü. NHN[1] hohes Felsplateau in Baden-Württemberg. Es liegt nahe dem Dorf Ochsenwang an der Kreisstraße 1220 auf der Gemarkung der Gemeinde Bissingen an der Teck. Der Felsvorsprung besteht aus Weißjuragestein und liegt am Nordrand der Schwäbischen Alb direkt am Albtrauf.
Von dem ca. 200 Meter breiten Plateau des Breitensteins aus bietet sich ein von Vegetation nicht behinderter weiter Blick auf das ca. 400 Meter tiefer gelegene, nördlich der Schwäbischen Alb gelegene Gebiet – im Nordwesten bis nach Stuttgart – weshalb er ein beliebter Ausflugsort ist und auf nahezu allen Karten der Gegend verzeichnet ist.
Auf dem Plateau Breitenstein befindet sich eine Bronzetafel, in der die Lage und Entfernung der von dort sichtbaren Orte verzeichnet ist.
Der Breitenstein ist sowohl als geschütztes Geotop und unter dem Namen Felspartie des Breitenstein auch als flächenhaftes Naturdenkmal ausgewiesen.

The Breitenstein is a rocky plateau 811.2 m above sea level[1] in Baden-Württemberg. It is located near the village of Ochsenwang on the district road 1220 in the district of Bissingen an der Teck. The rocky outcrop is made of Weißjura stone and lies on the northern edge of the Swabian Alb directly on the Alb ridge.
From the approx. 200-metre-wide plateau of the Breitenstein, there is a wide view, unobstructed by vegetation, of the area approx. 400 metres below, to the north of the Swabian Alb - as far as Stuttgart in the northwest - which is why it is a popular place for excursions and is marked on almost all maps of the area.
There is a bronze plaque on the Breitenstein plateau that lists the location and distance of the places visible from there.
The Breitenstein is designated both as a protected geotope and, under the name Felspartie des Breitenstein, also as an areal natural monument.
The bumpy and dusty end of Forest Road (FR) 163 in southern Wyoming leads you to a concrete slab where you can launch your boat into the Flaming Gorge Reservoir (further left past the photo). In the distance you can see the mountains in northern Utah below the dreamy, early morning clouds. The tributary to the right leads you to Briggs Reservoir back near the highway. There wasn't a soul in sight as we enjoyed the remote beauty here.

So remote that I can't remember exactly where this is! I think that it is probably in Lunedale on the B6276 between Brough and Middleton-in-Teesdale, but I could easily be wrong!
It was certainly wild countryside even on a relatively nice day of sunshine and showers. It must be so bleak in the depths of winter.

A nine hour drive from Vancouver and you arrive in Prince George, another hour and half you arrive at Anzac BC, another 45 minute drive East through the Rockies along an out of service forest road you arrive at the siding at Table on the former electrified BCRail Tumbler Ridge branch line. After the wires were torn down and the BCR was acquired by CN, not many if any at all have ventured into the Northern Rockies to see operations on the Tumbler subdivision.
After getting a heads up from a CN employee that we befriended along the way that a loaded coal train was departing the Quintette mine in Tumbler Ridge, we set up by the catenary poles that once held up the wires for electric trains at Table well in advance, as trains are sparse and we were hoping to see something on this line.
Not too long after arriving, we could hear the faint echo of the train exiting the 5.6 mile long Table Tunnel over 15 miles away. Just minutes later we saw the headlights in the distance and were soon being powdered in coal dust as the 100+ car train flew by at 35mph. Once the train cleared we would make the long trek back to Prince George, happy to shoot a train on one of the most undershot crossings of the Rocky Mountains by any railroad.
This is Will sitting on a bench on a snowy 'beach' out at the far end of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Despite the fact we visited in June there was still a lot of snow about.
Last morning on the Spanish River and we finally had a predictable 103, the tail end remote perfectly sunlit against the rugged backdrop at the east end of Pogamasing. It was nice shooting some of the brand new Tier 4s over the trip, but we felt fortunate to get a clean CWM rebuild to cap it all off.
With nothing else for freights coming, we'd spend the rest of the morning packing up camp and hauling our gear down to the canoe launching point where we'd flag down VIA's 186 to take us back to Cartier. An incredible area with endless photo opportunities if you don't mind bears, blackflies and dehydrated foods for an extended period.

The rangers houses in the far disatance nestling among the trees have a long way to go for a pint of milk!!
This section along the shoreline south of Lost Villages Museum, Long Sault, Ontario. Open water on the St. Lawrence River that can be accessible for our canoe. Unfortunately snow falling the next 4 days making it difficult to paddle. Soon ice will form here too soon.
Below, where I scootered to view this. There is a long walk to the shoreline from Lost Villages, where my scooter is viewed below…
