Shetland Calendar 1997

I have kept the images from some previous calendars on my site as they give a good impression of my work as used in this medium.


Up Helly Aa is held on the last Tuesday in January each year.  Over 1,000 "guizers" with torches form a long procession, led by the "Jarl's Squad" in Viking costume andthe "Galley", which is burnt at the end of the procession.
