Taken on a rather overcast day of indifferent weather the remote nature of the Fisherfield Forest is shown well in this view from the summit of A' Mhaighdean.
Riva Valdobbia, Valsesia. Italy.
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.

Counts as gym class, as long as I take a pic and a short video.
Looks warm, right? Nope; that is ice water.
Sorry, there are lots of mountains to see but I am limited right now to what I can get to within 10 or 15 minutes -- just can't be away from the house very long.
Made a trip to a remote spot in the north west of Ireland. Was rewarded with this view.

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.

Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/
The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place.
The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.
Memories hiking the northern part in the fell mountains. Summer light still present here, taken in August.
Hard drive find from one of the most remote places in the American Southwest in new processing:
In the late afternoon, after 61 miles (98 km) of gravel road, we reached Toroweap Point on the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
In the picture above the view is over the Colorado River gorge to the Southrim.
Festplattenfund von einem der abgelegensten Orte des amerikanischen Südwestens in neuer Bearbeitung:
am späten Nachmittag erreichten wir nach 98 km Schotterpiste den Toroweap Point am Nordrand des Grand Canyon.
Im Bild oben geht der Blick über die Schlucht des Colorado Flusses zum Southrim.
At the Roaches, actually my camera was in an even more exposed place then I was - good job the remote gives me more time than the 10 second timer! I've only actually posted this so it'll let me update my cover photo
The variety and shapes of icebergs is endless and like snowflakes, no two are alike. I particularly like the older blue disintegrating icebergs with their fantastic shapes. This berg had beautiful blue caves, The mountains of Jameson Land are in the background. Hall Bredning, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.

A bridge, and many species of birds, trees, grasses and aquatic plants in, around, and over Creekfield Lake in Brazos Bend State Park, Needville, TX.
For the Remote theme of Flickr Friday.
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.
You don't see many photos from this stretch of the Alaska Railroad since the closest road is about nine miles away. The only way to get here is a paddle up the Placer River in summer or a run over the snow and ice via snow machine or dog team in winter....or a ride on the ARR. While I've never paddled in I have snow machined here and ridden the train a few times. Here is a gorgeous late summer day that I road the Glacier Discovery out to the Spencer Whistle Stop. While hiking around out toward Soencer Glacier I decided to get this view of a southbound cruise train headed to Seward with SD70MAC 4317 leading the train over the Placer River bridge at MP 54 here in the heart of Chugach National Forest. In the background rising steeply from the glacier fed waters is 4400 ft Tincan Peak in the Kenai Mountain Range.

We have been fortunate enough to have a group of these wonderful birds behind our house. I must admit though that they have been elusive to photograph as they spend much of their time flying and are quick, small targets to try and get a good shot of.
Luckily for me they have taken to a sand hill that has been created by ongoing construction in our neighbourhood and have begun digging out little burrows in the hill. I still found though that I couldn't get close enough to get a sharp shot as everytime I got closer they would take to the air. The time had come for me to try my new remote shutter release...so I set up my tripod with the camera focused on one of the sand holes and moved back within a comfortable distance waiting for them to return. The resulting shot turned out 100% better than any of my previous attempts. Hope you enjoy!
Icebergs, icefields, red sedementary rocks and a small glacier in Rodefjord, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. The red sedimentary rock adds colour to this barren land and the beautiful clear light and low humidity makes everything pop.

There is a remote weather station at Low Head. If you enlarge the photograph you'll find what looks like a little alien spacecraft sitting amongst the rocks just behind the tower with the anemometer on it. This is to measure wind speed. Apart from the vegetation we could easily be on Mars.
I am still getting over my cold but I finally busted out the Nikon remote tonight. What a joy to use!
Leaving Glen Lui this view is towards its far end, with the lower snow covered slopes of Ben MacDui, the UK's second highest peak standing at 1309 meters (4295 feet), to the left, and Derry Cairngorm standing at 1155 meters (3789 feet) to the right. The path I'm following is rather boggy, but foruntately strewn with boulders, which reaches the high pass getting me into Glen Derry and the Lairig Ghru.
My favorite shot from early this morning and therefore my second ever attempt at shooting the Milky Way galactic core. By the time I shot this one "astro dark" had given way to "civil twilight" but I rather like the resulting tones, even if the core was a bit less visible. The light pollution is from Reno Nevada I believe as this shot was captured in the western Nevada desert, not far from the California line. Decent start for a nightscape noob, if I say so myself :)
The rangers houses in the far disatance nestling among the trees have a long way to go for a pint of milk!!
The remoteness of this far corner of the island really appealed to me. I spent almost a whole day wandering around this beautiful place. Just watching the waves crash on the rocks was mesmerising.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves very much appreciated.
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.
