The Up Helly Aa is a Fire Festival with a Viking theme which takes place in Shetland during the winter. This year I went to the Lerwick festival on a trip organised by Shetland Wildlife.
This was an amazing spectacle which culminates with a torchlight parade and a Galley Burning, for more information on the Up Helly Aa visit www.uphellyaa.org.
Here a few images from the day, not my normal subjects but good fun all the same!
Further images can be seen in my Flickr Set, I was lucky enough to have two of the images featured on the Flickr Blog.
