| On this page you'll see some pictures taken at various places. Everywhere
the scene is different like the weather there; in one place you'll enjoy the sunshine, in another, very close to you,
you have it's raining. But the light is always beautiful!

| On top to the left; the area near Streymnes on Streymoy. Next to it, to the right; Rays of sunshine light the mountains near Eiði on Eysturoy. Below left; the village of Fuglafjørður on Eysturoy. To right: The little village of Tjörnuvik on the northwest-erly part of Streymoy, hides itself behind the 692 m high Heyggjurin Mikli. Therefore the village gets sunlight for three months only. During the rest of the year the sun doesn't rise high enough to shine over the summit... | |

Above; the Slaettaratindur with 882 m the highest summit. On the isles there
are many foot paths, though very difficult to find; the stones to the left is a marker. <—The Giant and the witch, 75 m high, but puny in comparison with the 400 m high cliff.  |

There is a place with a magic sound; Trølshøvdi... It's a little bay in the north of Eysturoy, and the 'Giant and the Witch' mark the entrance. No need to translate this name; 'troll' says enough, so we dared to see that place. At our arrival, there wasn't much more than some freakish form-ed cliffs. We liked to see the sea breaking against cliffs and we were told this place should be the most spectacu-lair one. It wasn't very windy. The trolls decided to give us a nice show. Far out at sea there was wind increasing the swell quickly. It's a pity, that I couldn't record the sound! It was a very heavy and loud sound pondering along the cliffs and the place really was worth its name... It was that fascinating that I couldn't get enough of it. But the waves became higher and higher and the water came on the plateau. Then I saw a very big monster sea arising, higher and higher. I took a picture and ran away! In time! |

| There are only a few people visiting the islands. Most yachts visit the Faroes only for a short stop on their way
to Iceland. that's a pity, as the isles are really worth to visit. When we visited Tórshavn for the second time somebody went on board and asked
us if we were planning to sail to Iceland. We told him that the Faroes were our destination and that we believed we had reached that. He was very surprised
and pleased, jumped ashore and said; 'wait, I'll be right back!' and he went away. In a quarter of an hour he came back and he had brought a lot of
useful information about the islands, the currents and tides. He was excited that we decided to see his islands! But they got a bright idea how to make people visiting the Faroes; make it sure that people hàve to stay there... There's a ferry sailing from Denmark through Bergen in Norway to Iceland. It is said that this ferry has been paid for a bigger part by the Faroes. That ship sails from Denmark directly to Tórshavn, unship all passengers and then the ferry goes to Bergen. Then it returns to Tórshavn and take all passengers back on board and continues the journey to Iceland. Of course, you guessed already; it's the ferry shown above... |
