A baby muskrat!
It's called murder hole beach, supposedly because a young woman was pushed to her death from the clifftop in the mid 19th century. It's been getting a lot of coverage lately - http://www.independent.ie/life/trav...ds-most-mysterious-secret-beach-35784240.html but in reality it's not difficult to get there if you know where you are going. We took the difficult but more interesting route over the mountain.
I have just invested in a variable ND filter to see if I can get some of those pictures that smooth out the waves in that type of image, all I need to do is get to an appropriate beach or river

Dartmoor: Not quite the picture i wanted but I was there at the wrong time and mainly mtn biking. So despite sitting on the bike waiting for the light to change, it didn't happen. Nevertherless, reminds me of a great day out on the mtn bike with views I could sit and look at all day.

Caught the sun setting behind this tree last night.

Terrific pic, I'd be willing to bet (99.9% sure) that it was taken at Banna Minn - at Papil, on the south end of West Burra ?

Was this taken on Yell ? (Burravoe ?)
I'm not so familiar with Yell (or Unst), though I did the Unst Half Marathon last July.
Great pics btw.

Correct in both cases. Banna Minn, and Burravoe. Well done!

To be fair, my grandparents spent their lives just a few miles away from Banna Minn (but on East Burra), so I've been there many times and last year, we stayed in Papil - less than half a mile from where the pic was taken. We had a great time and we even had a close-up view of a pod of orcas.
TBH, I was very surprised to see the pic on this forum. As you'll know, Banna Minn is right at the very south of West Burra and many (most) visitors don't take the trouble to go so far down the island. Whether you were advised to go there or you went on a whim, you made a good choice to take the trouble to go there - I'll bet that there were very few (if any) people on the beach.
I don't know Burravoe quite so well, though I had a good look around Yell and Unst last year. I'll presume that your ferry pic was taken either between Toft and Yell, or Yell and Unst.
Thank you for posting the pics - Shetland is in my blood and means a great deal to me {hence the flag as my avatar}; I hope that you had a great time there - I can't wait to go back (hopefully, next year).

Yes a local pointed us towards the beach at Banna Minn, we were heading for the campsite at the outdoor centre at Bridgend when an old guy pulled over in his car and jumped out and started talking to us and among everything else he rambled on about was the suggestion to camp at the beach.
