The Green Isle of the Great Deep

Fair isle, originally uploaded by ccgd.

Flying Sumburgh to Inverness via Kirkwall last Saturday.

I've often flown past Fair Isle, but never managed to get a good aerial shot, either its been clouds (quite common) or I've been on the wrong side of the aircraft, or the wrong seat.

But this time everything just worked out perfectly, and an almost perfect shot from 12,000 feet.
