Sunset At The Ness of Burgi

What would I do without my nephew, Gordon, who whisks me off to places in Shetland I've never been. This time it was Ness of Burgi down at Scatness in the south end of Shetland. The sun had been shining all day (yayyy!!!) and continued until the end of the evening. The sky was continually changing and we arrived home at 1.00 am and, at this time of year, it doesn't get dark in Shetland. It's called the Simmer Dim. 

Some nice cloud formations

My nephew waiting while the slow shutter captures a smooth image. The clouds clear away and the sky turns pink.

On leaving the Ness of Burgi we noticed the sunset reflecting in the stillness of a loch. 

"Let's go up that hill" said Gordon. "Ok" I replied. Another place I'd never been. I was really surprised to find that we could see the island of Foula (link) plus St. Ninian's Isle (link).Two of the most photographed scenes in Shetland.
