Keeping Them Guessing, Shetland November 2016

It wasn't quite an out-of-office message - but it was my twitter equivalent as I arrived on Shetland at the weekend.

If anyone wants me, I'll be on the beach

Nicely ambiguous.  There are a lot of beaches at the south end of Shetland, and even on a short trip (with some dodgy weather) I managed to walk quite a lot of them.

West Voe Beach

Quendale Beach

Scord Beach

St Ninian's Beach (northside)

St Ninian's Beach (southside)

Spiggie Beach

And just to keep the variety up, I also spent quite a lot of time on Scat Ness too in both mild and wild weather.

Scat Ness - mild

Scat Ness - wild

Quite a good record, since I was only on Shetland for about 20 daylight hours this time.

On Show. November 2016

I’m going to be showing photographs at a number of events over the next few weeks.

If you're in Oxford over the next couple of months you’ll be able to see some of my pictures (alongside other Arctic-related artworks) at the Oxford Museum of Natural History.  http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/index.htm

Artweek Arctic is open from 11th November until 29th January 2017.  http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/visiting/whatson.htm#EX

I’m also going to be giving a talk (about polar bears) at the Museum on the evening of Monday 5th December http://www.oxonmammals.org/

I’ll be open for Oxford Christmas Artweeks – from midday-6PM on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th November at 34 Stile Road, Headington, Oxford, OX3 8AQ https://www.artweeks.org/festival/2016/ross-mackenzie-susanna-reece

And finally (at the moment) I’ll be at St Andrews School Headington, Oxford OX3 9ED for their annual craft fair on Sunday 4th December.
