The wonder of Shetland

I work up in Shetland for two weeks of every month.

It is a "thin" place.

It has an ethereal wonder all of its own - even when the weather is dreadful, which it frequently is during the winter.

At the moment, it does not get fully dark - this was taken at about 11 at night. That's the moon lighting the water.

It's a tough place to photograph, but the key is capturing its elemental components - sky, sea, rock, cloud, earth and light.

I love it here. It has a transcendent peace that I've found nowhere else in my life.
