Horses in morning mist

During the round up, shepherds spend the week gathering sheep from the mountains. On the final day the whole flock is driven to the place they will be sorted and returned to their farms.
On the morning of the final day we awoke to thick mist but as the sun rose, it began to lift. The merging of sunrise and mist infused the world with a magical glow.

I am just back from #Iceland
I was in the hills to participate in the sheep round up and most of the time was without electricity or phone signal. Now that I'm home I have started starting looking through photos. Unsurprisingly most are of horses and sheep!

I have some signed copies of my book, Ponies At the Edge of the World, available on Ko-Fi
Each comes with a set of postcards.

Ponies tells the story of Shetland ponies & the people who love them. Based on my PhD research, and journey to live in Shetland, it reflects on how our relationship with others, human, animal and landscape, affect how we feel at home in a place
