Drangarnir Sea Stack

Sunburst over Drangarnir, Faroe Islands. This iconic sea stack is just off the island of Vagar. Visitors are required to be accompanied by a local guide here.

Drangarnir

Summer sunsets go on for hours in the Faroes.

Drangarnir Sea Stack.

The hike here takes about 2 hours from the parking area, and is more difficult getting back after dark. But summer nights only last a few hours and it remains twilight until sunrise at 3am.

Awe and Wonder

Staring at the World in Awe and Wonder. My favorite photo of 2019. This photo was taken at midnight on the hike back from Drangarnir seastack. Originaly two photos, which I successfully merged in LR, my first attempt at pano merging. Also cleaned up the missing edges in PS, also a 1st for me. Thanks to @madspeteriverson_photography and @nigel.danson who lead this workshop in the Faroes in July 2019.

Tjornuvik View

The small village of Tjornuvik, a short hike up leads to this amazing view. I used the old stone fence as a leading line.

Kallur Light House

Kallur Lighthouse, Kalsoy, Faroe Islands. Walking out onto this steep ridge was the scariest thing I have done in years.

View from Kalsoy

Faroes means Sheep

It was more difficult to get a good sheep photo than I had anticipated. They usually have their heads down to eat, and turn their backsides to the camera. St Brendan the navigator sailed from Ireland to the Sheep Islands before the Vikings.

Eidi Village

Churchyard at Eidi, Faroe Islands. The mountain in the background is on the next island.
