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.

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.

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.

The variety of mountain scenery in the Ecrins National Park in the French Alps has to be amongst the best in the European Alps. The remoteness of the region accounts for the presence of so many rare species of animals and the southern latitude has resulted in an amazing array of wild flowers.
A thread of water in a broad river valley in late summer reflects the snow-covered mountains in Milne Land, Scoresby Sund, Greenland. A small receding glacier had deposited a large scree field fanning out from its terminus.

The wonderful beach at Luskentyre (it was my brother who suggested that this looks like a very remote drugs deal :))
For a blog of my trip to the Outer Hebrides:
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!
Inch strand, Dingle Peninsula, Co Kerry, Ireland.

Udabno is located in eastern Georgia — a world of vast emptiness and rolling hills, close to the border with Azerbaijan, offering a fascinating contrast to the green, mountainous regions of the country. Here, a sprawling semi-desert landscape unfolds, with colorful hills, dusty trails, and endless horizons. The earth shines in shades of yellow, red, and brown, especially when the sun hangs low in the sky, and the silence feels almost tangible. Not far from the village of Udabno lies Jikurebi Lake, a hidden gem tucked away in this rugged landscape. The Lake is a natural lake and the water level changes depending on the season. This small, peaceful lake is surrounded by gently rolling semi-desert hills and vast open plains. Thanks to its remote location, Jikurebi Lake feels incredibly serene — you’ll often have the whole place to yourself. The calm waters mirror the endless sky, and the area is perfect for quiet walks, picnics, or simply soaking up the silence. Occasionally, shepherds pass by with their flocks, adding to the timeless, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Especially in the early morning or at sunset, when the light turns golden and the hills glow with warm colors, Jikurebi Lake feels truly magical.
Udabno lies in eastern Georgia, where vast, rolling hills meet endless skies near the Azerbaijan border. The landscape here is a colorful tapestry of semi-desert terrain, with dusty trails and a silence that feels almost sacred. Hidden among these hills is Jikurebi Lake — a peaceful, remote spot perfect for quiet walks and reflection. The still water mirrors the sky, and sometimes shepherds pass by with their flocks, adding to the timeless beauty. At sunrise and sunset, when the hills glow in soft golds and reds, the lake feels nothing short of magical.
Udabno ligt in het oosten van Georgië — een wereld van uitgestrekte leegte en golvende heuvels, vlak bij de grens met Azerbeidzjan, en vormt een fascinerend contrast met de groene, bergachtige delen van het land. Hier ontvouwt zich een uitgestrekt halfwoestijnachtig landschap met kleurrijke heuvels, stoffige paden en eindeloze horizonten. De aarde kleurt in tinten geel, rood en bruin, vooral wanneer de zon laag aan de hemel staat, en de stilte is bijna tastbaar. Niet ver van het dorp Udabno ligt het Jikurebimeer, een verborgen pareltje in deze ruige omgeving. Dit kleine, vredige meer is omgeven door glooiende halfwoestijnheuvels en uitgestrekte vlaktes. Het meer is een natuurlijk meer en het waterniveau verandert afhankelijk van het seizoen. Door de afgelegen ligging voelt het Jikurebimeer ongelooflijk sereen aan – vaak heb je het hele landschap voor jezelf. Het kalme water weerspiegelt de eindeloze lucht, en de omgeving is perfect voor rustige wandelingen, picknicks of simpelweg genieten van de stilte. Af en toe trekken herders met hun kuddes voorbij, wat bijdraagt aan de tijdloze, bijna dromerige sfeer. Vooral in de vroege ochtend of tijdens zonsondergang, wanneer het licht goud kleurt en de heuvels oplichten in warme tinten, voelt het Jikurebimeer werkelijk magisch aan.
Partway out to Mullach na Dheiragain from Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan. MnD is the darker peak along the ridge in the middle-distance. (Carn Eige and Mam Sodhail are the peaks to the right). This felt like a long out-and-back walk in a VERY remote place, made all the more fun by the twisty rocky path over intervening summit Carn na Con Dhu.
A 28 mile day in total. 14 on bike (cycle in and back; Loch Affric car park along the loch's south shore to the Allt Coire Ghaidheil bridge approx 1.6 miles beyond Strawberry Cottage) and 14 on foot - hike up to Bealach Coire Ghaidheil, over An Socach to Sg nan C'nan, out to MnD and back, cut across Coire nan Dearcag, down to Alltbeithe Youth Hostel and walk back to bike. Do-able in a single day; I think it was around 11 hours. Fantastic journey into a remote area.. but tiring!
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

Some nice clouds greeted us this morning in my hometown Schuders. The village has just 30 souls, and is located in a remote place near Davos in the Swiss Alps.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I appreciate and welcome constructive feedback.

Sunlight breaks through - Perfect stillness across Lochan na h-Achlaise as shifting sunlight breaks through onto the snow topped Black Mount; wild and rugged beauty enhanced all the more by the forces of nature on this dramatic landscape.

The Ridgeway National Trail passes through a surprisingly remote part of southern central England. From its start in the World Heritage Site of Avebury, it follows a ridge of chalk hills in a north-easterly direction for 87 miles (139 Km) to reach Ivinghoe Beacon lying to the northwest of London. Popularly known as ‘Britain’s oldest road’, The Ridgeway still follows the same route over the high ground used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers.
My first attempt at really pushing the effects and masking in Lightroom. As a non-driver I'm usually at my chosen location between 11 and 3pm; probably the worst time for any atmosphere or drama in any landscape and I find it really frustrating! So I may play more with tricks in Lightroom to compensate. Not sure about this one though, perhaps I should practice more. Great fun though!

One of the real highlights of my recent trip was a visit to the remote and historical village of Khinaliq. This settlement stands at an altitude of seven and a half thousand feet and is said to be almost five thousand years old. A road was finally driven into this village in 2006 and prior to that date transport would have been on horseback for all those who needed to venture to the outside world. Khinaliq is still some distance, perhaps a hour and a half from the nearest town by motor vehicle and that is over a very basic stretch of tarmac.
Since I returned I have watched the Bettany Hughes documentary on Treasures of Azerbaijan and it was no surprise that she visited this location. It seems that the occupants of the three hundred properties speak their own language and in the most part are more than content with their remote lifestyle. We had a broken conversation with a young lad who had gone away to the big city to study but had returned on the day of our visit. He was happy to try his English out on me and advised that all youths do the same as him. They are brought up in the village, go away to be educated and then return back to the village.
By way of a geographical explanation, the huge mountains in the background are part of the High Caucus and are over the border in Russia. In the foreground some of the village elders are seen having a catch up.
This looks pretty COOL if you View On Black
Not my usual route home..

Luckily I had my P5000 with me in the car...
I´m very lucky to have contacts like you guys..
I´m so busy these days and don´t have much time for Flickr... I´ll catch up soon :-)

Not as remote as some but remote enough.

An important yet very remote link on the A&O is the Beech Mountain Railroad, linking United Coal Company's Carter-Roag Mine to the A&O main at Alexander, WV. The sole purpose of the Beech Mountain is to move coal hoppers between the two points, empties south and loads back north. Despite their lone remaining Alco having been replaced by this SW7, the line is still rich in history with its roots as a narrow gauge forestry railroad dating back to 1890. It's still a wonder to have happened upon them at just the right place and time.
