Winter down at Leebitton , Sandwick, Shetland
We have had a lot of stormy weather and if the wind comes from the east Sandsayre gets battered. I got drenched on this occasion

A Shetland Winter
Of course there is always one that doesn't want to go across and this one came to check me out
eventually it was caught and lifted onto the back of a quad before being taken up the Bigton farm
A local walk down to Sandsayre produced a rough sea and a double rainbow, always nice against a stormy sky
The covid cases are on the rise in Shetland with 36 recent cases, around the north and some in Lerwick. Still in level 3 as of today. Luckily we have lots of open spaces to go into

Shetland Christmas
Well what a year and its not finished yet. The virus has been the biggest problem as we are due to move into level 3 loch down on Boxing Day. There has been a couple of cases in Shetland during the past few days and oddly enough HMS Northumberland which had docked in Lerwick a few times has now reported cases and is due back in Plymouth , could they be related?
I have been unable to do any photography courses for most of the year and its looking doubtful in the early part of next year, may be until most people have had the injection. This was being administered in Shetland with care homes getting the first run.
Still had lots of time for photography and there has been some great light, even this morning as the sun was rising over Sandwick.
Shetland Aurora Hunter which i started just over 4 years ago on Facebook is nearing 5,000 members and it just shows how much interest there is in the night sky and we have had a good run of Aurora these last few nights, good to see the Moon as well.
Christmas is happening and the virus cannot stop it thank goodness so have a good one. Santa has been round today checking on his route for tonight
We have had a light covering of snow early on but this has more or less gone with all this salt in the air it never lasts long. Cannot remember last time it snowed at Christmas.
Anyway thanks for supporting my blogs, please join Shetland Aurora Hunter on facebook
