Here are four images which I took today.

 

Hi Jeff!.. Thanks for the wintry views! .... Is that last one from your back garden?

I also liked the underwater one of the otters!

p.s. Is that a yellow sign with a tortoise or turtle on it in the 3rd photo please??

 

You are welcome and I took that image at an angle, so it's part of my garden and part of the garden next door and the hills beyond with the bright sun shining on it all.

The image below shows part of my garden with the hills in the background.

Yes, it's a tortoise and it's part of a sign to remind folk to drive very slowly.

 

Thanks for sharing all these Jeff... it's really beautiful and takes the breath away...

Ah! .. (tortoise) the penny drops, that's good advice

This video shows a steel hulled vessel breaking a channel through the sea ice at Voe in Shetland this winter, the channel was cleared so that an aluminium hulled vessel could get out.

That inlet is a long way from the open sea and several fresh water burns/streams empty into it which makes the water brackish and prone to freezing.

 

@JEFF JOHNSON thanks for sharing !
I appreciate all the more that I work in shipbuilding

 

You are welcome.

 

I've been to Shetland twice, both times on a boat with a strengthened steel hull intended for icy passages in the Barent's Sea.

Mind you, it was summer and the only ice around was in the freezer cabinet of the tea-shop in Lerwick harbour...

 

The weather for a few weeks this winter was more like the winter weather that Shetland used to get, but it did not last so long.

This link shows an interesting story and some images.
