Looking North

I'M not the only one who is taking pictures without a flash , at nighttime.
There is one here , from Graemsay , one of the islands a little to south west of Orkney mainland.

But I happened to be out  one night and was driving back from Kirkwall  and was here

its looking more-or-less due North . but in July, In Orkney , At midnight
its this .
On the right are the lights of Hatson Industrial Estate and  the terminal for the Aberdeen and Lerwick ferry

Simmerdim its called.
