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.
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...

Night skies over desert landscape. Milky way shining vividly overhead and a warm glow from nearby township in the far distance. the textures of the desert are highlighted with a hand light.
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.
I was stunned to see such a big and well-maintained monastery at such a remote place, where it used to take at least four days of trek to reach even a few years back, with just a small village having hardly fifty households.
Yes, Lingshed monastery is one of the oldest remote monasteries in Zanskar valley. It was established in the 15th century around the same time when Kasrsha and Padum monstaries were also established in Zanskar, a region of Ladakh, which still lies cuf off from the mainland in winter due to unbearably low temperature,
The new monstery has replaced the old cave monasteries.

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 is a very intimate, remote and minimalist shot taken on September 7th 2012, at 6:58 a.m. from the summit of mount Rocciamelone (3.538 m), Italy.
The delicate misty early morning light makes the landscape almost surreal.
I love to photograph the mountains from a more elevated vantage point. First for the pleasure of being there, secondly because it's a way to vary a bit from the usual landscape compositions already seen several times.
The remote lands involved here are the mount Fraiteve (2.701 m), right in the middle of the image, then we have the whole mountain range of the Assietta (2.566 m), Cottian Alps.

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.
When I headed out to this rock this morning there wasnt really any flow around it...... that didnt last long ...... I dunked my remote at the same time...... so am off to buy yet another.....lol
Vegetation everywhere is the salient feature of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Over 90% of the surface area of the park is covered in one form or another of vegetation.
The forest park is home to over 500 species of trees. Among them 7 species are rare including the "living fossils" - Ginkgo (Maidenhair tree) and Chinese Dove Tree. The Dove Tree (also known as the Handkerchief Tree) is perhaps the most famous. It is regarded as a “living fossil”, having survived during the Glacier of the Fourth Period (2.5 million years ago).

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

Pedaliodes montagna (Montagna Mountain Satyr / Mariposa marrón de los bosques nublados)
The genus Pedaliodes comprises of over 270 known species, with new species being discovered at regular intervals as their remote cloudforest habitats become more fully explored. No less than 114 "new" Pedaliodes species were discovered and described between 1999 and 2004 by Viloria, Lamas, Pyrcz and other workers. The eventual total is expected to exceed 600 species.
Pedaliodes are small to medium sized butterflies. Some of the species are widespread but many are confined to remote Andean peaks, isolated from their cogeners.
Pedaliodes montagna is found in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Like all Pedaliodes species this is a butterfly of the high Andes, found in stunted cloudforest, and transitional cloudforest / puna or paramo grassland habitats. It can occasionally be found as low as 2200m but is most frequently encountered between about 2500-2600m.

Remote, peaceful, atmospheric part of the north Kent coast. Easy access to Saxon Shore Way..The reserve is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area, because of its importance for populations of wading birds and wildfowl. This coastal grazing marsh reserve is made up of wet grassland drained by a network of ditches, reedbed, scrub, shallow lakes, saltmarsh and the mudflats where Faversham Creek meets the Swale estuary.
While the northbound was pulled up on the mainline this remote job was going about his duties of dumping several dozen loads of aggregate. The skies were clear and the temps were cool.
I originally came across this old lantern, table, and other stuff in a remote wash in the Sheephole Valley Wilderness about 1.5 years ago. I decided to hike back a couple weeks ago to check things out, half expecting the old lantern to be gone. Not only was the lantern still there, but things were exactly as I had left them! No sign of footprints, and I doubt another human being has been here since my last visit. I would love to know the story here... old miner's camp, perhaps? Another desert mystery that will likely never be solved!
In the woods with Phill this week spending a bit of time with stencils and a bit of a lighter weight kit as i've been getting a bit of Plantar pain in the heel of my left foot. I think carrying a rucksack full of camera kit, lightpainting kit and tripod has started to take its toll on my body. A great chilled night out.

this was taken with my iPhone on a pretty remote drive not too far from where I live.
The air quality from the fires has improved with a on-shore wind blowing..
Had hope to see some deer on this day but only came across a few doe's and fawns, they did not give me much opportunity to photograph them.
Had not been out with the camera much this summer and I really did need this drive. Good for my sole.
The scene isn't what makes collaborations special. It's the people we choose to be in it. Thanks for giving me your time Mady.

Ever since I saw the tiny line of this road on my Travel Map of Mid Wales, I have wanted to explore this route. It is as remote as you can get in the UK outside of Scotland. It crosses the Cambrian Mountains and is truly beautiful in even the dreariest weather.
