Finally in the Faroes After 20+ Hours of Flights

A dark crappy shot of a whoooole bunch of salmon farming operations in one of the fjords - I think it is a recent attempt to help slightly diversify the Faroese economy which is still something like 95% dependent on fishing. So, this is fish still...but quality raised salmon.

Ok, so, not surprisingly, this is the coolest looking place I've ever seen. But I've been awake for 100000 hours so all I could do was snap a couple of crap shots on the way to my hotel through tinted bus windows at dusk. I promise the photos will get better starting tomorrow. Heavy fog covered nearly everything, and the capital, Tórshavn, was covered with a thick blanket of fog.

The bus trip cost just under 20 bucks Canadian and goes from the island of Vagar to the next island over, Streymoy. You go through a long undersea tunnel, and eventually under a mountain on Streymoy as well. The bus makes stops at some of the small villages along the way.

A quick snap out the front window on Streymoy I think.

A small town that I forgot the name of...oops. But it isn't too far from 'Asfaltwerks', which appears to be a plant that makes asphalt. my linguistic prowess is stunning.

Just another rockin grassy rocky misty mountain, which is to say, a typical shot in the Faroes.

A nice little stream that the road crosses - likely many of the waterfalls empty into this bad boy, it is in a little valley that you drive through.

Some hay (protected from the rain!) and large farm buildings...for farm things?

Some cultivated infields ("bøur" in Faroese, I think...) on the way to Tórshavn. I don't know if these terms are still used but, traditionally, the non-cultivated outfield was known as "hagi". Although I haven't snapped pictures of them yet, wooly Faroese sheep of all colours roam freely everywhere at this time of year. Sheep were scattered about randomly, including on the outside guardrails where they had about two feet of grassy cliff edge to chew on and a very steep drop. Faroese ponies were also chewing and walking around the steep, rocky hills. One was waiting with some kids at a bus stop.

A quick shot of one of the Faroes' innumerable cool waterfalls that run down to the low points of the isles or into the sea everywhere.

Another quick bus snapshot...obviously none of these crappers do the place any justice, but I'll get some good pics!

Shortly after emerging from the undersea Vagar tunnel (Vagar is the island which has the airport...), I saw this sunny peak with fog/mist sticking around it.

This is the same peak about 5 seconds earlier : )
