Shetland photos.

I like the Dutch "Drempels" for speed bumps. Almost onomatopoeic ?

 

Here are another two photos which were taken by a friend of mine recently.

 

This one was taken by the same person today.

 

Smashing pics !

the weather’s not too bad neither!

 

I'm glad that they are of interest and the weather is splendid just now.

 

Here is one more from the same person.

Here are three photographs which I took recently and they show some Shetland trees.

 

Such a beautiful country!

 

Thanks George!

 

The first of these two photographs shows the Island of Papa Stour, which is on the west side of Shetland and I took the photograph from Sandness and the second of my photographs shows Fora Ness which is on the east side of the Shetland mainland.

 

Great photos Jeff, thanks.

 

You are welcome Stevie and I'm glad that they are of interest.

Great pics again, Jeff!

Do folks keep bees up your way, at all? That heather would be great foraging for a bee

Quite common for beekeepers to move their hives to moorland areas at this time of year to make use of the heather...

 

Thanks and I have heard that there are some bee keepers here and the link below shows a Google search.

Thanks Jeff!

Interesting that bees were imported from the Isle of Man , presumably as they were Varroa free?

There looks to be some Shetland honey sculling about ..have you tried some? Not everyone likes honey, of course!

Or Bees, for that matter

 

That was most likely the reason and I have not tried any of the local honey, because I do not like sweet things.

 

These links show old photographs which may be of interest to our Finnish members.
