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.
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.
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 :)

Hadrian's Wall is 1,900 years old this year. It was built in AD122 to guard the northern frontier of the roman empire.
The rangers houses in the far disatance nestling among the trees have a long way to go for a pint of milk!!
Taken from above Altnaharra C@M club site from one of the remains of a building forcibly abandoned during the "clearances". Below by the Loch is the remote but beautifully located camp site.
The monument comprises the extensive remains of the settlement of Grummore, occupied at least as early as 1726 and cleared in 1819. The majority of the monument was scheduled in 1962, but this re-scheduling adjusts the boundaries to take account of better mapping now available and also of recent changes in land use beside Loch Naver.

Union Pacific 724, an EMD GP38-2 built for MoPac in August 1980, shuffles a center beam flat car on the LUL44R job at Provo Yard.
The photographers were stood well away watching the mist beginning to lift on Derwent Water in the Lake District National Park. They were operating the cameras on remote control as the sun was just beginning to have an impression on the mist.
Derwent Water is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park, measuring approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep.
Taken on film with my large telephoto lens 500 mm, imagine how far i am from that tree in order to have it all included in the frame. Again here the dark blue is the sea and the light blue is a mountain that is far away
To travel to the remote Kimberly region of north west Australia, one of the worlds last frontiers, is an adventure in itself. This is a reflective shot I took from a zodiac meandering through the mangroves in late fall (southern hemisphere). The rock formations in the Kimberly were deposited up to 1.75 billion years ago by major river systems that flowed from north to south across the whole region.
The last time I showed you a waterfall was 15th November 2019 😯
Since they are one of my favorite subjects to photograph I had to change that quickly 😄 So here you go, one of the most remote yet beautiful waterfalls Europe has to offer!
After Union Pacific purchased C&NW I tried to shoot North Western units when I had the opportunity, such as this image on the turntable at Superior (Itasca) in August 1996.
The mist was rising off the creek, which created areas of soft focus amongst an otherwise crisp shot. 20171210BullCreekPsDxoLr4
A remote hilltop church in the mountains of Samos, Greece, with commanding views of the surrounding area and the Aegean Sea.
Those who think that Iceland’s been ruined by tourists just need to venture further north. the land of otherworldly vistas, air travel-disrupting volcanoes and polite, stylish Vikings – already feels remote.
In Westfjords, a lonely peninsula that juts out like a thumb into the Denmark Strait toward Greenland, it seems even more so. Here the weather can change in a heartbeat – sunny afternoons quickly swallowed by icy winds and low clouds filled with fat snowflakes.
It’s six hours by road from Reykjavik, the Icelandic capital, but be warned: Driving the twisting routes of Westfjord’s wind- and snow-whipped mountain passes can be hair-raising.
For those who make the journey (a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended, as is a sense of adventure) the region’s natural features, eating options and activities are worth the white-knuckle ride. the photo was taken by Dynjandi waterfall
Running through the swamps and spruce trees of the Canadian Shield at 50 Miles per hour, VIA №606 is just 20 miles out of its northernmost station, Senneterre. The train is loaded with about 11 passengers bound for various stops along the way. Altough it no longer serves a Transcontinental route, №606 Is still just as important and acts as a lifeline for the communities along the old NTR route in Northern Quebec.
Stay tuned for the rest of the adventure.
