Dunloup Creek
New River Gorge
Not only are the leaves gone from the trees, but my remote is gone from my camera bag . . . unfortunately dropped it in this creek and couldn't grab it before it washed away! I'm fully expecting a new one in my Christmas stocking though :-)
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...

Long Point Light stands at the very end of the long curling arm of sand at the tip of the Cape. It's the most remote lighthouse on mainland Cape Cod.
(Look closely, you can see several sunset revelers way out at the very end of the spit.)

On a late summer evening Ogilvie Ridge offers panoramic views along the Dempster Highway in Canada's Yukon Territory.
Here, the highway crosses the continental divide on its journey north to the Arctic Ocean. The landscape bears the marks of frequent fires, evident from the dead trees and the regrowth of vegetation. Looking east, you can see across the Ogilvie River valley to the Ogilvie Mountains. The Ogilvie River drains via the Peel and Mackenzie Rivers to the Arctic Ocean. Rivers on the other side of the continental divide drain into the Yukon River and ultimately the Bering Sea. Interestingly, the region's drainage patterns have shifted over the past 30,000 years. The massive Laurentide ice sheet, which once covered most of Canada, advanced to divert the drainage to the west through the valley now occupied by the small Eagle River. As the ice sheet retreated, it allowed the rivers to carve new channels northwards. This dynamic history is etched into the landscape, offering a glimpse into the powerful forces that have shaped this remote and beautiful part of the world.

Buffalo is considered by many tribes as a symbol of abundance. Most people love gentle water buffaloes so close to them. I was so close to these lovely ones that I suddenly felt their powerful breath; which made me fall backwards right in the ricefield's muddy water, and the women burst into laughter. It took me about one hour to clean and dry my sturdy camera and lens.
May these smiling peasants live a better life they actually deserve!
Just a crop of this infrared panorama (due to Flickr's "best display size" which obviously seems to vary between free and pro users):

It's cool how the ripples on the lake are confined to a certain area, outside of it, the water is flat like a mirror.

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.
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.
A beautiful spot.. These shots were taken the same day within an hour. The reflection of the golden sun playing on the waves was just magnificent, painting magentas and reds, depending on the angle of view.
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.
SUN!!!!

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.
Macro Mondays: "PushPull"
This is PUSH (the button). The remote to my Apple TV. The effect in the picture is caused be rotating the focus ring while the shutter is open.
This image is about 5 cm (2 inches) on the long edge.
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.
Barbados Sheep (Ovis aries). This non-native species was introduced by ranchers in the area around Sutter Buttes in the early 1900s. Barbados Sheep were soon abandoned in favor of more profitable livestock or other forms of agriculture, One flock went feral and has survived in the wild since then. They sometimes can be seen on hikes into the more remote parts of the Buttes. Near Yuba City, Sutter Co., Calif.
This milky panorama was taken in Chile, in a remote place, at 2 000 meters altitude, may 2018.
The clearest and darkest sky I have never seen in my life !
The orange color is neither caused by clouds nor light pollution. This is an entirely natural (and rare) phenomenon called : Airglow.
Airglow is similar to the aurorae, but with a lower intensity. Solar particles are hitting our atmosphere and excite oxygen atoms contain in the upper layers. This matter interaction releases faint light , green or orange.
The orange airglow is very typical from Chile and southern sky whereas the green airglow is more commonly found in the northern night sky.

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!

Loch Arklet (Slide film).
This remote loch in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park sits sandwiched between Loch Lomond and Loch Katrine. It makes for a spectacular loch with the Arrochar Alps acting as a backdrop, it is a very photogenic location. To reach this loch you have to take the B829 Inversnaid road, which passes through the equally beautiful, Loch Ard and Loch Chon. There is a large variety of wildlife that can be seen from this area, including the unmistakable osprey, golden eagles and even feral goats.
