St Kilda in the outer Hebrides, its a small island beyond the outer Hebrides, there is a deserted village on there ,and the islanders were evacuated in the 1930's they lived off the sea and sea birds mainly Gannets they would scale the 1200ft cliff on the back of the island to collect the young Gannets. I think I'm right in saying that they would barter the feathers of the seabirds for other provisions. When feathers became worthless their life on the island was no longer possible. They were evacuated by the government sometime in the 1930's i think. A truly spectacular and fascinating place. Great for Landscape and wildlife photography packed full of sea birds and seals. Sea level to 1200 ft in a mile and a half.

The Chobe River in Botswana - and I have three workshops planned for that area next year :D

Back in 1981 when I was on a three-week self-drive safari of the Okavango, Chobe was our last stop before returning home. We drove from Maun to Moremi, spent some time there, then on to Savuti, spending some more time, then Chobe last. I saw the most beautiful red sunsets across the water, with elephant on the opposite bank silhouetted against the setting sun. Magical!

Geee Color me surprised.. NOT. what does one do with an elephant he shot??

The meat gets used , mostly eaten by the local populace. Elephant actually also makes for fine jerky. And there are many uses for the skin as well. Since elephants have few natural predators they sometimes multiply to the point where one needs to start culling them, otherwise they turn the land into a wasteland.

Canada's far north, again, specifically camping along the Dempster 'highway' which has been extended to Tuk' on the Arctic Ocean. This time with a wildlife lens, or two :)

+10 on the Yukon in general and especially the Dempster. Only got to drive a bit of it out of Dawson City a few summers ago when up that way on a big road trip but I really want to drive it all the way to Tuk' especially if I can time it for the fall Caribou migration. Fantastic road through awesome terrain.

Nearly everywhere I've been in the first 45 years of my life!

Being only started photography just over 12 months ago, I can think back about so many opportunities.... just have to do it all again.😀

I agree wholeheartedly! I've been a photographer for decades but didn't have anything longer than a 50mm until my D200 jump into digital. I simply never took my camera on backcountry or high country trips; so no camera at hand when a bear ran past us at full speed as we stood knee deep

Sadly, it's true:
(Warning - the video is highly disturbing)
www.cbsnews.com

Hundreds of elephants in Botswana may have died from toxic algae, officials say

More than 330 elephants in the Sergona area in Southern Africa died this summer, and climate change likely played a role, but there are still unanswered questions.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com

They don't seem to know why for sure, but algae blooms seems to be at the top of the list. For now, the number that have died won't put a dent into the population, but they are watching it. (Although, for me, any dead elephant is a shame and upsetting.)

The Pangolin set up where you’ll be staying looks incredible.
I’ve been following them on youtube now for a while & have to say the houseboat looks incredible including the motor boats it tows that have the single row of 360 degree seats c/w your own gimbal.
Really jealous but have a fantastic time.

Mine would be Glacier National Park. I was there in October back in the early '80's. At the time, it was like having the place completely to myself. The vast landscapes, the wildlife, and the peacefulness of a nearly vacant park was really special.

I was there last year. An absolutely stunningly beautiful place. So too is the Canadian side of the park. Unfortunately you will probably find that there are far fewer glaciers today than 40 years ago.
