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.

                                                                               Boddam

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

Drongs- Shetland

 It is that time of year i like, the clouds are more dramatic in autumn and winter. Up towards Eshaness you come across the Drongs and the light always seems good here

The shafts of sunlight are always good to see. The forecast for the weekend is snow and cold conditions, early me thinks

Last night a storm hit with wind speeds recorded at 67mph, just 6 mph short of a Hurricane

Sumburgh- Shetland

This week has been a complete mix of sunny warm weather but also lots of thick fog with some rain

Always good to see Sumburgh Head never mind the weather conditions

 

St Ninian's , Shetland

You never know what you are going to find on a Shetland beach, just need to be alert for seaglass

S

St Ninian's such a beautiful place and only 5 miles from where we live

The skies are also superb, i love a walk in winter when there are only a couple of folk on the beach
