A distant view of Drangarnir, one of the most interesting natural landmarks in the Faroe Islands! Drangarnir is the sea stacks in the middle. I took this photo in/near the village of Bøur. Shortly after I visited another iconic landmark: Múlafossur Waterfall! I wish I had time to get a close-up view of Drangarnir, though. It is truly otherworldly!
I took this photo on August 29th.

An idyllic, misty view of Sandavágur! I was on my way to the otherworldly Trøllkonufingur! Trøllkonufingur was one of the best sights on Vágar Island and one of the highlights of my trip. But, I also enjoyed the walk to and from there! I hiked about 12 KM that entire day and it was well worth it.

Sandavágur has been voted the most well-kept village in the Faroes twice. And it's the most famous "city" in the country, and best voted traveling experience. Although, not an actual city at all - the population is only around 861! The name Sandavágur means sandy bay and refers to the sandy beach which used to be much larger than present. From one point in Sandavágur you can get a view of all the southern islands in the Faroes. And the red-roofed church seen in this photo is one of the best in the Faroe Islands! In fact, members of the Danish Royal Family were there 1 day after I was! I even saw their motorcade as they were continuing on their journey. A pretty cool experience, too ;).

I took this photo on August 25th.

One of the most surreal places I've visited - Sørvágsvatn in the Faroe Islands! Had a great time there on August 26th. The more iconic view of this lake actually is much more panoramic, showing views further to the left. But I was so in awe of what I witnessed that I simply forgot to take a panoramic photo of that! Oh well, as the saying goes: there is always next time, right? :) I still did manage to get some cool shots and am glad for that. Especially since the wind could be a little strong at times! Especially near this viewpoint here. I was perilously close to that edge. And anyway, this is a must-visit for anyone going to the Faroes! It's a few KM hike but so well worth it. And the visible trail makes it quite easy to get there. Plus, you are likely to walk with other tourists anyway ;).

I took this photo on August 27th in the Faroe Islands. This waterfall is one of the most picturesque and well-visited sights there. And one of the highlights of my trip! It was a dream to visit the Faroes and especially this waterfall. Am so glad I finally did :). And while popular with photographers it is still quite isolated! And compared to the waterfalls of Iceland it is not nearly as popular. Same with the Faroe Islands as a whole. And there was just a few other tourists when I was there at sunset. Also, before the completion of a tunnel in about 2006 this waterfall was even less visited as one had to travel over the mountains to get there. A much harder journey. But the scenery is incredible on the way! And even more so when you are there :).

I took this photo at Sørvágsvatn in the Faroe Islands! This isn't a view of the lake itself or the iconic cliffs. But a view of lesser known cliffs right by the lake itself. And the body of water you see is the deep sea :). And the lake was to the right of me. To see both at the same time is a very cool sight, as well. But I like this close-up view the best. Can really get a feel of how otherworldly it is! As the classic views of the lake. I hiked about 4 KM to get to Sørvágsvatn and it was definitely worth it! Some other tourists as well, but not nearly as many as the peak of summer. I'm glad I went on that late August day! One of my favorite memories of 2018.

The small village on Mykines only has about a dozen year long residents. The helicopter supplies them twice a week and takes them to one of the other islands if they have the need. During the summer many visitors come to see the birds that nest on the island or one of the islets close by. There are also summer residents many who have family history on the island. This old stone building houses supplies and equipment.
