Shetland

A photographer`s paradise

Story by Nina Frydenlund October 11th, 2017

The animals

In Shetland there are more animals than people. And that`s exactly how I like it. The puffins are infamous, I think we saw the last one to head off to sea for the winter! The horses are adorable and tame.

The Shetland hares are everywhere! They don`t mind skipping and running on the steep cliffs......

Seals thrive off the coast of Shetland, and you can often spot them close to the shore.

Sheep are the masters of Shetland. They roam all over the place, and you can see why the Shetland wool holds so high quality.

Shetland is paradise for bird watchers. We were too late to see the big masses, but still got a good impression of the variety of seabirds.

The views in Shetland are unforgettable! The harsh winds are scary though, so hold on to your cameras!
