    After looking at, cropping and editing all 794 photographs I've, finally, picked out some that I think you may enjoy.

    This is the boat we took a three hour tour around Noss on.

    Sorry the quality of these pictures isn't better but it was difficult to focus well while being tossed about on the boat.

    Nice variety! And that boat looks pretty nice too.
    I have to admit... when I read the subject line... I was expecting to see Shetland ponies. :oops:

    Oh good, we get to see yet another part of the world we normally would never see. Those are great photos. Trying to take them on a rocking boat didn't cause any seasickness then?

    Thankfully I've never suffered from seasickness Toni. Just as well as we were on the ferry to and from Shetland for 19 hours each way!!

    19 hours!! That's two whole days of your vacation time. :eek:

    I don't get sea sick either. Many years ago I went deep sea fishing off the coast of Florida, everyone else in my group ended up in the cabin area literally turning green. I was on the side with the captain and the first mate fishing, caught a nice size fish too.

    Wow!!! 19 hours each way, the journey itself must be an adventure. Those photos are interesting and it must be a real peaceful place. :)
