Picture of the month: October

Whilst visiting family in Whalsey, Shetland, I was presented with many photographic opportunities. This image was taken during a fishing trip when we stopped off at my cousin's very own island. This is one of the most remote places I have ever been to; no other people and no buildings. Just open air, very green grass, sea in every direction and a small flock of sheep. I like the image because it has three contrasting elements: land, sea and sky. The cloud formations almost look like they are in motion, leading you into the image and to the top of the hill. The hill and fence then roll down towards the sea, which effectively keeps you moving around the image.
