Shetland surely has some of the most beautiful sunsets, and also sunrises, to be seen anywhere. We especially appreciate them as our weather is sometimes very restrictive of our ability to view them.
I was awake on a morning when, looking at the sky, I saw the beginnings of what I hoped would be such a sunrise. So, at approximately 4.00am with camera in hand and the essential spare batteries in my pocket, I set off for Tingwall Valley. Before I even arrived I could see a mist hanging over the lochs – a most attractive sight in itself.
As I was about to take my first photo the sun suddenly slipped from behind the edge of the hill and burst through the mist.
It was impossible to stay and watch the morning unfold with such beauty and not be filled with awe at the sight. I hope that you have enjoyed viewing these photos as much as I delighted in taking them.
Truly, truly awesome!!!! What an artistic eye you have. You are very lucky. Keep up the good work so the rest of us can enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Thank you very much for your wonderful comments, Valerie. Very encouraging indeed, especially when there may be another 4.00am morning on the horizon. So glad you enjoyed the photos!
