Faroese ram (July 2021)

Fær is the word for sheep in Old Norse. Færøerne means Faroe Islands in Danish. There are a little over 50,000 people on the Faroe Islands and more than 100,000 sheep. Coincidence?

Smyril Line ferry to the Faroe Islands from Denmark (July 2021)

Today’s photo was taken on my trip from Hirtshals, Denmark to Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. I have no desire to be on a boat for over 30 hours straight again, but it was an interesting adventure in hindsight.

When the economy of your country is based on the fishing industry, this is what your town looks like.

Today’s photo comes from the farthest northern place I went to on the Faroe Islands. I’ve been to some pretty beautiful locations during my 53+ years on earth (Yosemite National Park, Kyoto, Glacier National Park, Norway, Hawaii, Oregon coast, Koyasan, Iceland, etc.), and this spot is definitely in my Top 10, maybe in my Top 5. It certainly didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect, and no one else was there.
