I love walking by the sea when the air is filled with spindrift and the sound of crashing waves.
Tonight wind surrounds the house, howling as it circles. Walls shake, air flows through door and windows frames, making divisions between inside and outside feel uncertain, in motion. #Shetland #wave #storm #stormy #weather #wind

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.
John AltringhamWatercolour. A thin intrusion of mafic basalt running through felsic Lewisian gneiss. The two rock types, with their different mineral content, have strikingly different lichen communities. From Raasay, NW Scotland. A second, and probably final, sketch of this - I have some other interesting rocks to try...

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!

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

MatthewIt is as if
The envious sun
Had witnessed
last night's moon
And wondered how it would be
If she was dressed silver too
And veiled in silver silken mist
I'm in the liminal space between
The darkness and the light
Shimmering cobwebs
Beaded with glitter
Tremble like me
in the stillness.
Soft edges
in the midst of confusion.
Pools of possibility are
Lit by white rainbows
Gateways to another place
Hidden from the sun

Purple and gold, radiant as they weave stories of summer's end across the hill #Shetland #autumn #nature #wildflowers #Scotland
