#Baltasound

2024-03-24

Baltasound is the largest town. The right hand photo shows the Baltasound hotel (it is surrounded by wooden cabins). It's about twenty minutes walk to the nearest shop. That problem of many hotels where you can't sleep because of noise from traffic, traffic lights, night clubs etc. is not a problem here.

A stretch of road leading off into the distance with paddocks either side, and a side saying "Baltasound". In the distance a stretch of water can just be see, with low green hills behind. To the right a couple of possible houses but with the sun behind it's hard to make out any details.Another road leading off into the distance with paths either side. Towards the end is a stall stone building, partially hidden and in front of that, a ring of wooden cabins, also partially hidden.  There's some buildings on the opposite side of the road, sort of red-brown but too far away to make out any details.
 There's a post and white fence running along the sides of the road.

A bus shelter formed of glass sheets and red painted uprights, bearing the logo "Shetland Islands Council".  Inside it is furnished in a domestic manner, with curtains in leopard-spot print, a hanging basketweave lamp, and several stands for pot plants, populated by a variety of hardy plants.  A toy Giraffe is tpropped in a corner.  A man is sitting smiling on the one seat there is now room for, which is also draped in leopard-spot print.  The landscape is the flat coast of a remote island, with a sea-bay beyond, and the scene is shot contra-jour with the sun's actual position blocked by the curtains in the shelter
