December 2008 – Christmas Cousins

This photo of Aidan and Hannah was taken on Boxing Day at their Uncle Glyn’s house.  Matching ganzies and matching cheeky grins!

November 2008 - Fireworks

This was a memorable evening.  Ryan had found some old fireworks while clearing out so we went down to the beach to set them off.  Aidan thoroughly enjoyed it.

October 2008 – Halloween Again!

Yep, thought I had better stick to the routine and post yet another Halloween pic.

September 2008 – Coastguard Training at West Voe

Thought I had better post this photo as a comparison to the one I posted for May 2006.  Here we have the Coastguard Sikorsky S92, “Oscar Charlie” doing a spot of winch training at West Voe.  This aircraft replaced the Sikorsky S61 pictured in May 2006.

August 2008 - Firestarter

This photo is a reminder of the many, many bonfires that we have had in the past.  This one has Aidan silhouetted in the foreground.

July 2008 – Sunset from Grutness Pier

This photo was taken one evening Aidan, Ryan and myself had gone fishing at Grutness Pier.  The building in the background is Wilsness Terminal, Sumburgh Airport.

June 2008 – Whaddya mean foul?

One of many pictures I have of children falling down around Aidan’s feet.  My apologies to the owner of the child.

May 2008 – Sunset at Sumburgh

This picture was taken from Sumburgh Lighthouse looking across West Voe towards Fitful Head.  You can make out Aidan in the foreground patiently waiting on me!

April 2008 – Coastguard S92

Another airport photo.  This time it is the Coastguard S92 doing a spot of crazy training.

March 2008 – Saab 340 Landing

A frequent occurrence throughout 2008.  Here is a Loganair Saab 340 landing at Sumburgh Airport.

February 2008 – 8 Years on

Here the boy is, blowing out the candles on his 8th birthday.

January 2008 – Up Helly Aa

Picking my favourite photos from 2008 has been extremely difficult and once again I would like to point out that I haven’t chosen these pics for their beauty or technical perfection.  I have chosen each of them because they have at least an element of meaning to me.

To begin with we have Up Helly Aa 2008.  I quite liked the effect of the lights and smoke silhouetting the Guizer Jarl.
