Wester Ross, Scotland
Crowned as the “stillest” destination in Inghams’ survey, this remote region in the northwest highlands of Scotland boasts dramatic mountain peaks, deep sea lochs, and pristine coastline.
The region is so remote that Inghams found just 1.6 inhabitants per square kilometre and also found it to have very low light pollution on the Bortle Scale.
It is the perfect dwelling for a diverse range of local flora, fauna and wildlife, including otters and black-t…

Op opwarmende bergtoppen groeien meer planten, maar de soorten die er al waren verdwijnen juistMore plants on warming mountain summits, but species that used to live there disappear. The arriving species already had a place to live, lower on the mountain, but the disappearing ones won't find a new place. 'Escalator to extinction', an effective phrase to describe this. Similar to what happens to species moving towards the poles.

I couldn't decide what to do today and where to go. I got up too late for a longer hike due to the heat. In the end I just got on my bike and followed the road and pushed myself for some training effect.

Fire on the other side of the mountain
I don’t think Chris understands that native plants on San Bruno Mountain are adapted to frequent fires, and fire actually gives natives a leg up on invasives here.
Maybe not if the fire is too big due to a legacy of fire suppression and existing buildup of invasives, but why would that be the case in the novel’s utopian future?
And why is the monastery in the mountain? Because the plot required a murder victim to be found head down in a vat of pig's blood, and pigs were customarily slaughtered in cold temperatures, which in Italy in November would be most plausible at high altitude. And why did a victim have to be dunked in pig's blood? Because the different methods employed by the murderer must seem to correspond to the prophecies of the seven angels of the Apocalypse, or Book of Revelation, announcing the…

I wanted to post mountain photos more regularly again! So here's one trail from last year where I started really early to avoid the heat.
It was a hike that I did alone and met just like ... 2 or 3 people. Oh and I was glad to have a water filter with me!
I spotted a spring on my way up and - knowing that I'd come pack to it later - I didn't have to use my water sparingly.
Enjoy!
