The Faroe Islands, part of Denmark and situated halfway between Norway and Iceland, are becoming very popular with photographers, mainly for their remoteness, towering cliffs, fjords and waterfalls.
In October 2017 I visited for 3 days and now I’m hooked and definitely want to go back!
I view down one of the main fjords near Tórshavn on Streymoy
The witch's finger! Unfortuntely the day we were there the cloud was too low to see it properly.
Sørvágsvatn is the largest lake in the Faroe Islands. It is situated on the island of Vágar.
Two impressive sea stacks between the islet Tindhólmur and the island Vágar. You could walk down the other side of the fjord for a better view but due to the weather we opted not to do that!
The classic shot of Mulafossur Waterfall with the village of Gasadalur behind it.
Traditional turf roofed house in Saksun
Tjørnuvík is the northernmost village on the Faroese island of Streymoy.
Legend has it the two distant sea stacks Risin & Kellingin (Giant and Witch) are fossils of an old woman and giant who tried to drag the Faroe Islands back to Iceland. The rising sun suprised them and they were turned to stone.
On the left is Eystroy and right is Streymoy. Eiði is a large village located on the north-west tip of Eysturoy, Faroe Islands. Its name means isthmus in the Faroese language. The town was settled by Vikings in the 9th century AD
