This particular place is likely my favourite place on earth. Of course I haven’t seen it all yet. Eshaness brings me peace. I’ve been here a few times in our two trips to Shetland and I’ve gotten to see it under a few different conditions. There is something to be said for familiarity.

The colour version of this image hung in our livingroom for some time.I liked it initially but it didn’t last. I began to look at it and pick it apart, find more and more things that I didn’t like about the photograph. Sometimes that happens, you have to live with art for a bit sometimes I find, then you discover what you really think. In this case, the colours weren’t sitting well with me and I eventually got to the point that I needed to take it down. Judi had a great shot she made in Alberta that took it’s place. :)
Recently, I began playing around with the image as a black and white and it began to speak to me once again. If the colours were what I felt didn’t work, take it away and see what you’re left with. In this case I think the colour was standing in the way of the true interest in the photograph.
