Produktbeschreibung
Nestled off the north coast of Scotland, the Shetland Islands are a beautiful archipelago, unparalleled in Britain for their beauty. In the summer months, the sun barely dips below the horizon, and at midsummer there is the famous simmer dim. Landscape, water, and the ever-changing light combine to form a magical, sometimes almost otherworldly feeling, which leaves a deep impression on those who live on or visit the islands. This collection illustrates the varied and beautiful scenery and moods around Shetland and shows some of the many changes that have befallen the islands, which are predominantly impacted by the ever proximity of the sea, over the last 50 years.
