. In this photo, we witness a skilled islander cutting through the rich seam of peat on Mainland, one of the stunning Shetland Islands. With his trusty tools in hand, this hardworking man is extracting the essence of these ancient soils during a sunny June day.

Peat has been used for centuries as fuel and building material, making it an essential resource for both locals and visitors alike. The breathtaking landscape surrounding him tells tales of rugged beauty and untamed wilderness. The temperate climate provides the perfect conditions for peat formation over thousands of years, resulting in its dark and fertile composition. This image not only captures human ingenuity but also highlights our deep connection with nature. It reminds us that even in today's modern world, traditional methods still hold value and significance. So let this print transport you to the enchanting Shetland Islands where man meets land in harmony.
