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

 

Mid Summer in Shetland

Well it got up to 27 Degrees this summer which is excellent for Shetland

                                  St Ninian's always a popular spot for locals and visitors alike

             A good sunny day is usually followed by a foggy day. No good if you intend to travel by plane

 

Walking around Lerwick

Always good to have a walk round Lerwick. During the summer we have many visiting cruise liners, this year 145 of them

A party of visitors take a guided tour

Guard dogs outside an opticians

Another one to be auctioned off for a cancer charity. This one depicting Shetland at night with aurora colours- called Dark  Skies

Visitors from all over this one from England, but plenty of Norwegian ones as well

An early one for the Tall ships later this month, this one built in 2000
