60 N..... (7)  The Light Over the Past. by Larry Davis

60 N..... (7) The Light Over the Past. by 


This image was taken at the Old Scatness Broch and Iron Age Village, which is located right beside the Sumburgh Airport Runway on Mainland in The Shetland Isles.
The site was uncovered when they were putting down the airport.
We had just left the airport and picked up our car when as we left the car hire office we were greeted with what you see here.
A pure magical moment.

I live at Riddells Creek in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, and have been involved in Horticulture all my life.
.
I play Blues Harmonica and Bodhran’ in my spare time, as well as getting involved with Genealogy and Medieval History,
I have also been acting for 40 years and was lucky to be cast as a judge in the movie “Stricly Ballroon”…
But my camera is my passion.

    What a nice place it is….

  • Depending on your lifestyle, it could be paradise.
    And now that I have experienced it, I can understand why Nat “Nordic Blackbird” feels the way she does…
    But I will return for another trip in the not to distant future….. I hope.

    Myyy, Larry – Love your framing and the POV on this one :P

  • The sun-glare was my biggest problem… But I snapped it anyway.
    It makes for a discussion piece anyway…
    And the location was just excellent.

    Wow! Love the lighting in this.

  • From chest height the light was glaring and flat with the rocks.
    But from down low with the rocks, a lot of the glare had disappeared.
