Skywatch Friday - Shetland rainbows
Days of sun and rain and March winds here just now, and after a winter in the city one suddenly longs to escape to the hills. "Blows the wind today and the sun and the rain are flying/Blows the wind on the moors today..." Robert Louis Stevenson's poem always comes to my mind on days like these, and to fit my mood I've chosen this photo of Shetland.See more Skywatch photos at the Skywatch Friday site.
WOW! Beautiful rainbow :) I love it!
ReplyDeleteBonjour de Radonvilliers, very small village near Troyes.
ReplyDeleteWonderful landscape.
Have a nice day !
what a fantastic photo! I came from Skywatch, but stayed to see your bits of Scotland
ReplyDeleteThis photo makes me remember those days in Aberdeenshire. It was a year, when we did not see the sun very much. But incredible colours, shadows and views.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this atmosphere, quite different compared now our sunny, snowy, glimmering landscapes! No spring yet here, -16C this morning :)
What a wonderful landscape! I love the soft green of the hills and the great grey of the sky!
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow makes a beautiful addition!
You are happy to escape to the hills.
Have a nice weekend - Vienna is rather windy and not so cold as recently, but wet :)
The beautiful panorama and an intertesting blog.
ReplyDeleteLinda this is such a lovely shot and so appropriate for this time of year anway in the northern hemisphere. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSmiles
wonderful shot , that excactly how i imagine Scotland :)
ReplyDeleteThis really has everything from rainbows to rainclouds. It makes my island look drab and overcrowded on a day like this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. Very promising light and the rainbows are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my SWF. I love your rainbow. Your picture also reminded me of days past when I would be in Dunoon, Scotland with the US Navy. We had a submarine base their, which closed in 1992. I took a moment and looked at your blog. You have a great blog. T^hanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great rainbow and different light agains the dark clouded sky. Love this beautiful scenery so much!
ReplyDeletetoo beautiful for words, love th rainbow
ReplyDeletePostcard perfect!
ReplyDeleteNot one but two rainbows. Lovely picture you have taken.
ReplyDeleteI have been as far as Perth. Now I think I must aim higher.
Thank you for sharing.
That is so pretty - I love the rainbow!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindab:)
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
The photo is enchanting!
You have dark clouds, little light, a beautiful rainbow, a meandering river and a cluster of houses. The place is magical. It looks as though it is going to rain any time. But if there are heavy winds the clouds can be blown away and there will be bright sunlight. Anything can happen. It is a long time since I have seen a rainbow. May be next rainy season I will be fortunate to see one.
It looks like those houses are far away from the city. No pollution and no traffic jams. I wonder what these people do for a living. May be this is a holiday resort. Very interesting to make surmises.
I am amazed to note that Scotland is also called GOD’S OWN COUNTRY. All along I thought that only Kerala was called that. Wonders never cease.
Many thanks for visiting my post and leaving an interesting comment.
Wish you a wonderful day.

What an absolutely beautiful photo!

Wonderful! I love seeing rainbows and I can see the double one here.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunnig scenery with double rainbow. Sun shines nicely on the village. Nice shadow in foreground, you can see clouds edge in it. Wonderful shot! Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteOccasional Scotland: You caught a rainbow. All photographers deserve at least one rainbow in a lifetime! Great picture. Bet where you were standing was equally breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, beautiful picture, I would love to hike there in March instead of being here in the dry dust of our 6th. year of drought.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Skywatch. I love everything about this shot. You have a lovely view there!
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect rainbow shot, the double arc showing also, the lovely landscape below. It's funny that we both posted rainbows this week; thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWOW....How beautiful!!! I was visiting Sara in Seattle and saw your comment so I just had to come check it out. I love Rainbows! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking too! Scotland is such a beautiful place! I would love for you to join me for Scenic Sundays on my blog. I post my photos on Sunday but you're welcomed to join in any day. Hope to see you there. It'll be a REAL treat for my followers!
