Ci sono momenti, all'alba, in cui si vede nettamente il confine fra il regno del sole e quello delle ombre. Le nuvole sospese nel mezzo di due mondi, sembrano la porta per entrare in un mondo fatto di sola luce.

Went with a friend last Saturday to Ightham Mote, a National Trust property in a rather remote location to the east of Sevenoaks. We found it to be not that well signposted (the way we came), but it was well worth finding. Built around 1320, it's the most complete medieval moated manor house in England. This together with some lovely grounds and gardens make for a great day out.
ScotRail 156446 & 153380 head away from the very remote station of Corrour across Rannoch Moor with 1Y42, the 06:03 Mallaig – Glasgow Queen Street on 19th April 2023.
Mountainous landscape near Badcaul, Scotland, United Kingdom. A rugged terrain leads to high peaks on the right. The expansive sky features dramatic cloud formations casting shadows over the hills. A narrow road winds along the coastline, bordered by water, offering a stark contrast to the green of the terrain. The scene captures the remote beauty and dramatic weather characteristic of the Scottish Highlands.

above the vast expanse of the mountains, an umbrella perches like a guardian on the edge, sheltering nothing but space and light. the weathered wooden fence stretches across the frame, guiding the eye toward the distant peaks, whispering of boundaries against an endless sky. the starkness of black and white enhances every shadow, every line, and every contrast between human design and the untamed natural world. this image, captured in a remote mountain setting, is a quiet meditation on solitude, balance, and the delicate intersection of man-made and natural beauty.
Some find the road out west on Ardnamurchan pretty intimidating. But turn on to the little roads that lead out to the lighthouse at the end, or to the heavenly white sand beach at Sanna, and the road becomes even more of an adventure. However park your car at the side of the road and head off into the crater of the ancient Ardnamurchan volcano and things become a whole lot more desolate and remote. Over a hill and far away, where there has never been electricity or a road, and you find a place called Glendrian, Glendryen, Glendrain....all of them, where there was once a thriving crofting community. And it's site is now a Scheduled Monument giving Guardian readers and amazing insight into what post-Brexit Britain would look like.
Glendrian is a depopulated settlement of post-medieval date. It is located on the Ardnamurchan Peninsular on the West Coast of Scotland, situated within a ring of hills forming the caldera of the former volcanic crater of Ben Hiant. The exceptional preservation of the settlement remains, including cruck-slots within house walls, led to the scheduling of the settlement, which is considered to be of regional and national importance.
Settlement at Glendrian was first documented in the early 17th century, in 1618, when 8 families were recorded living there. From 1723, the population grew, jumping from 29 people to 39 in 1841 and 47 in 1861. The census records show a decrease in the population after this however, and it was during the mid-19th century that the smaller townships on the Ardnamurchan peninsular, including Glendrian, were cleared for larger sheep farms. The population fell to 20 in 1881 and 11 in 1901. By the 1930s, only two houses were occupied, and by the 1940s, the settlement was completely deserted.
Glendrian does not appear on Roy’s Military Maps of 1747-55, but it does appear on Bald’s map of 1806, on which it comprised 17 buildings, two enclosures, fields and walls. By the time of the 1st Edition OS 6 Inch map of 1876, three unroofed buildings, 17 roofed buildings, 6 enclosures and field systems were present. More buildings were depicted as unroofed on the 1896 2nd Edition OS 6 inch map, with only 8 roofed. A walkover survey was undertaken in 2011 in advance of a bracken control programme and this revealed many more features than mapped however, including previously unrecorded shielings, enclosures and boundaries. A total of 43 individual features were identified; more than half of these related to use of the landscape and transhumance including areas of rig and furrow cultivation and boundary walls, but the rest were structures and features associated directly with the post-medieval settlement, including houses, a revetted spring, a sheep fank and numerous enclosures.
Although a walkover survey does not record sufficient detail for a full assessment and discussion of sites, at Glendrian, it did discover clear evidence of modification and development through time to the settlement. Houses were of varied style and contained evidence for different phases. For example, some buildings had clearly had extensions and additional rooms attached to the pre-existing structures, and the construction of fireplaces within some of the houses were likely related to the latest phase of use. Additionally, the boundary walls and enclosures were all of drystone construction, but these construction techniques varied and these structures also exhibited characteristics of modification.
The level of preservation at Glendrian is considered to be exceptional, especially when compared to similar types of settlements in the Highlands, as most do not usually preserve evidence of modification and phasing through time. In light of this, the site represents a valuable resource into understanding the changes that took place in post-medieval settlement and economy in the Highlands during the 18th and 19th centuries, and a closer study of the architecture of Glendrian would allow for an interesting study into vernacular Highland settlements.
Its the road where I stood and took this shot. No approach roads, high in Himalayas, an absolute treat to watch this remote region of the Changpa tribe.
It would be true to say this small waterfall was in the middle of nowhere. It was lovely to stop and find this waterfall away from the main road.
Here's something from long ago on a special day when I rode the snow fleet up to Tunnel Section deep in the wilds of the Chugach Mountains. This is what I wrote when I first shared this long ago.
The "snow fleet" is climbing slowly up the nearly 2.2% grade enroute to tunnel with Jordan Spreader #7 leading, trailed by two geeps and a depressed center flat car loaded with a CAT. To the left can be seen the south portal of the 310 ft Tunnel they exited moments earlier. This little tunnel at MP 51.9 is the southern most of five in short succession. Immediately south of the tunnel's portal is the 160 ft long Placer River bridge, a portion of which is also visible spanning the deep gorge. This is one of the most remote and wildly scenic pieces of the entire Alaska Railroad.
The work train crew is heading south up hill toward the site of the massive slide near MP49 in the famous "loop district" that buried a northbound freight out of Seward nearly a week prior. The excavator with the custom designed snow bucket is on its way to continue the arduous task of extracting flat cars from a tomb of snow.
Here's a news story from back then: www.adn.com/alaska-news/article/one-avalanche-hits-freigh...

A shot taken near Nenthead last December. I have managed to miss nearly all of the snow this winter due to work or lockdown. This is one of the few images that I have managed to get with snow in.
This one for me creates a sense of being alone in an area far away from any other people, a nearly abandoned, ghostly location. One could feel that as an uncomfortable, even scary feeling, but for me it is kind of peaceful, serene, and quiet.

I think this was an image from the east side of Iceland but I doubt I could find it again. One of those places you stop for a brew & then travel on.
Remote Froglet (Crinia remota)
I wish I could have got a more artistic looking picture of him doing something, but these fellas are tiny and very flighty.
It doesn't need the text like my previous picture, and arguably it detracts from the picture; however I'm in the mood for hover text.
Hopefully my ID is right, while I'm interested in them, frogs aren't exactly my forte haha
The remote landscape of the Aksu-Zhabagly Nature Reserve in Kazakhstan. The white trees are native wild fruit trees in blossom. This region is the origin of most of our common fruit trees.
Resting at a traditional festival in a musical village in Buganda, central Uganda.
The palaces of the bugandan kings of Buganda resounded throughout each day with music and dancing.
Looking up Loch Cuaich/Quoich at Gleouraich (with summit clouds, centre-distance) and Spidean Mialach (right-distance) from the slopes below Ben Aden in Knoydart. A fabulous and remote part of Scotland, and especially lovely when the evening sun comes out as it did here!
