Shetland Sumburgh coastal walk

 

Shetland - Sumburgh burns

With all the rain we have had in the past few months its no wonder that many little burns have started to appear. These are all down at Sumburgh all leading into the sea

 

Winter at Sumburgh

Winter light in Shetland is superb, even though in winter we may only get 6 hours of daylight

Its always good to get down to the south end and on this walk along the coast from Jarlshof towards Sumburgh head the low afternoon light was great

A combination of the sun nearing the horizon, the warm low light always shows up the detail in the landscape

 

Shetland- Storm time

 We seem to have been battered by storms for days, the other day winds up to 89 mph and today about 60mph.

I like winter days and storms when you get out out for a bit of fresh air and to take photos

With landscapes i always want to spend time to see how the light changes, this day was no exception although it is exposed and difficult to hold the camera steady

The cloud changed many times providing dramatic light. in all i spent over an hour photographing and it was all worth it
