Shetland photos.

This photograph was taken by a friend of mine recently and it shows another view of some Shetland trees.

Trees are scarce here because of the wind and the salt air, but these trees are in a sheltered dale.

 

Here is another photograph from the same source.

Welcome to Lunna House

 

This image was taken by a friend of mine when I showed her a remote and difficult to find part of Shetland and she has named that place the hidden gem.

This image which is from the same source is of The Hole of Scrada, which is a result of a blow hole in the cliffs and the power of the Atlantic ocean.
It's located in the north west of the Shetland mainland.

I must admit tho.... I always think when am there, standing on land, , imagine, starring out to sea with your wife ALL THEM YEARS AGO, and you see the Vikings coming, an you / I would be thinking, who the bloody hell is this, boy were you in for a shock

 

I see your point, but the Vikings were some of my ancestors.
