Klaksvik – The Faroes – the old part – turf-covered houses.

The turf-covered roofs are so very different – only in this climate! They are picturesque. It does give an impression of what things used to be like long ago when this place was just a handful of houses, a tiny fishing community.

Faroes – Klaksvik and whaling

The whaling heritage is made apparent when you stumble across a whale jawbone stuck as a monument. They still cruelly murder these beautiful creatures. A lack of empathy.

The Faroes – Klaksvik

The Faroes show you what Iceland will look like in a few million years. It’s a set of volcanic islands, now long inactive. We arrived in drizzle and mist – a condition that is not unknown to the Faroese.

Torshavn – The Faroe Islands

Walking around the picturesque town with its turf-covered roofs.

Faroes – Torsharn – into the harbour

Turf-roofed houses and colour! Sombre clouds and drizzle. Very picturesque and foreboding.
