9. Oxford Floods, January 2014
Like many parts of southern
England, Oxford has seen its
share of flooding. The first
spell of flooding in January
coincided with some very
bright warm days which
encouraged me to explore
the watery landscapes. By
mid-February, it would be
fair to say that any novelty
value has very definitely
worn off.

14. Aviemore Sled Dog Rally, January 2014

major rally.

18. Up Helly Aa, Shetland, January 2014
The Viking heritage is
important to the Shetland
Islands.
One of the key outlets for
their inner Viking is the Up
Helly Aa fire festival. On the
last Tuesday in January, the
streets of Lerwick are filled
with hoards of bearded
torch-bearing Vikings
intent on burning a replica
long boat.

22. Shetland Sunrise,
February 2014
One of the real bonuses of spending
time on a small island is the
opportunity to see dramatic sunrises
and sunsets.
In early February sunrise is around
08:00, so it’s not too much of a
challenge to get up to Sumburgh
Head for the pre-sunrise light show.

24. Wave Power, Shetland,
February 2014
Shetland really does have potential to exploit both wind and wave power. Spending time
around the coastline really does bring home how much energy is caught up in even quite
modest waves. I’ve been trying to capture images that give a sense of this power.
