EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the age-old tradition of peat cutting in the picturesque landscapes of Shetland, Scotland. As the sun sets over the Northern Isles, a vibrant glow bathes the scene, illuminating both nature's beauty and mankind's resourcefulness. The peat, carefully cut from its bank, now rests nearby to dry under the warm evening light. This reddish-brown fuel has been a traditional source of warmth for generations in this island archipelago. With its regenerative and renewable properties, it serves as an alternative energy option that harmoniously coexists with nature. As we gaze upon this large format masterpiece by Martin Zwick from Ardea Picture Library, we can almost feel the maritime breeze coming off the North Sea. The heatherlands surrounding us add a touch of wild charm to this otherwise tranquil setting. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights how communities adapt to their environment while embracing sustainable practices. It reminds us that even in remote corners like Shetland, great strides are being made towards harnessing natural resources responsibly. So let your imagination soar as you envision yourself standing amidst these moors - breathing in fresh Atlantic air and basking in the warmth of both springtime sun and human ingenuity.
