This photo is very unique. Its a Traditional Japanese styled bar and normally, its hard to get permission to photograph the bar unless all the guest have left.
This is also not just any bar. Its frequented by Japanese actors/actresses/singers as well as Korean ones. What this bar is famous for besides the good finger food and drinks is that Yoneshiro was the featured Japanese styled Bar in the dating scene of Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Hee in the hit K-Drama, Iris. The owner and her daughter-in-law also featured in the drama

One the key reasons that brought me to Shetland was these little fellas


Well, one don't need a large "Bazooka" or make special arrangement with paid guides to photo these fellas, anything that can reach between 200-400mm is more than capable. So I share them on this travel section as well.

so cute! looks like penguin hahaha
 

The Puffins and Gannets can found at the rocky sea cliffs of Shetland.

In this case, the photos below is that of Hermaness.
Hermaness is the northernmost headland of Unst, the northernmost inhabited island of Shetland, Scotland. It consists of sea cliffs and moorland and tenths of thousands of Puffins and Gannets will arrive to nest and mate in the summer.


Muckle Flugga is a small rocky island north of Unst in the Shetland Islands, Scotland that houses a light house that dated back to 1854 and served the British well during the Second World War. The lighthouse was finally automated and the last light house keepers left in 1995. It is often described as the northernmost point of the British Isles. To get to see Muckle Flugga up close, one would need to trek close to 12km (round trip) across an elevation climb of 200m and over peat bog areas.

Along the way, beware of the bird below. It's called a Bonxie or the Great Skua. They nest along the peat land all over Hermaness and they'll attack you if you get to close to their nest. They literally circle above and dive bomb you, aiming at the highest point of your body

They have a beak that looks like eagle.
Do they really attack or just trying to scared people away from the nesting sites?
 

Hi Bro Turbo,

The Bonxies attack anything that get too close for their comfort. They are not for bluff and this type of attack is also the same when they harass puffin's and other seabirds to give up their catch.

Once they take off from the ground and circle on top, it's best to hold a walking stick upright. As long as we walk out and away from the range that makes them uncomfortable, they'll give up. They won't attempt to attack as long as people (and/or guide dogs) don't intrude into their comfort zone.
