In 2012 I visited the Orkney Islands. The Orkneys are very different the Scottish Highlands you'll drive through to get them. They're flat and treeless. That description is pretty accurate, but it doesn't sound great, does it? But nothing could be further from the truth! The Orkney Islands are quite spectacularly beautiful. The flat, treeless landscape creates huge, beautiful skies that dominate every view. Add in some truly spectacular coastal geology, beautiful towns and villages with very distinctive vernacular architecture, and some amazing pre-historic monuments, and you have a photographer's paradise! I also have a gallery of Polaroid photographs from Orkney in the Polaroid section of this website.
