Why do Shetlanders have so many words for twilight? Because here, light isn’t just seen — it’s felt. In summer, the days melt into the simmer dim — that magical half-light where the sun barely dips below the horizon. We have hömin, dayset, dim, darkenin. Dagalien would be the beginning of twilight, moving slowly to miknen, the late evening twilight.
Shetland’s skies are more than beautiful — they’re a unique natural asset. From extended twilight in summer to the Northern Lights in winter, the islands offer an unrivalled canvas for photographers, nature lovers, and remote workers seeking inspiration. #60north #shetlandphotography #shetlandlife #promoteshetland #shetland
