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.

In a relationship, the most epic fight is over control .. I mean, the TV remote control XD
Whoever obtains it will have the power to choose the movie on Netflix, and believe me... it´s a battle that I don´t intend to lose.

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.
Advantages of living in such a place
- Playing AC/DC at top volume without worrying about the neighbours
Disadvantages
- Inconvenient when the milk runs out

Rachakonda Fort --
Once this remote hamlet was the capital of the Velma Kings during the 14th and 15th centuries. It is said the Velmas were cursed by a woman that they would never again rule. People believe that it is the result of the curse the Rachakonda Fort absolute ruin today! Yet, the masonry wall of the fort screams out its glory and story!!

My family have lived here for 60 years. I had heard about a patch of Rhododendrons that grew in the middle of nowhere, but never seen them.
So yesterday, we went over the hill (the one I look out onto) and far away, in search of this patch.
We were too late for the main flowering period, but there were still some flowers looking good.
I am still astounded by how big that patch of Rhododendrons is (all white, but looking like there are different varieties). It was a real thrill to see them ... next year I will be visiting earlier!
I couldn't get a distance shot that showed the whole area, but there's one in the first comment box to give an idea of the scale.
This is again a shot from our stay in Himachal Pradesh from 2013-16.I took this shot on our way to the remote village of Bharmour in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh.See how the tiny hamlet clings precariously to the mountainside and the terraced fields around it.We must have been at an altitude of around 9000 feet when I took this shot.
This area of Himachal is not much frequented by tourists but It is incredibly majestic and beautiful .
Might be worth a look in large.
As we descend from Glas Maol and Creag Leacach, I came across the Meall Odhar cafe at the top of one of the chair lifts, just set very remotely among the mountains of the Scottish Highlands.
Glas Maol (meaning the grey green hill) is my 18th Munro and stands at a height of 1068 meters (3504 feet). Creag Leacach (meaning 'the slabby crag') is my 19th and stands at 987 meters (3238 feet).
Everytime I look at this photo I would like to take a seat to watch and feel the elements. Lanzarote 2022.
My much used remote to trigger the camera shutter from a distance.

During the boat trip from Bergen (Norway) to Stavanger, we passed this remote place, with a little light on it. Must be relaxing, but maybe also a bit lonesome living here. Enjoy your lazy Sunday!

The remote mountain peak named Punta Carestia, 2.979m (9,774ft), on the watershed between the two regions of Piemonte and Valle D’Aosta; the long ridges of the mountain and the pastures of the Settlement called Alpe Maccagno are ccovered by the first snow of the year.

Here's another composition from the day Kendra and I had a nice storm system pass through during the mid afternoon at Lake Tahoe's Sand Harbor.
We got really lucky with the weather that trip. We had still waters and a colorful sunset the first night and morning. Then we had a storm rear its beautiful head the 2nd day and had a light snowfall on us for our sunset shoot turning into tons of fresh snow for sunrise the next day. By sunset, it was clear, but we got nice shots. Variety is the spice of life!
Just going down memory lane at the moment and this shot jumped out at me. Have a great weekend ahead everyone!
