Today I'm on a quest to find the iconic photo spot in the Faroes. The one that captures all the elements of life on the islands. Steep and luscious green mountains that jump out of the sea, of course the sea, a small village, birds, remoteness....what else....maybe a waterfall. For some, the trek to this location can be a challenge. I'm midway on this set of stairs with a 6/8 pitch. That's a six inch tread with an eight inch rise...over 45 degrees! Yowza!! Major...

This is a view of the tallest mountain in the Faroes, the one I climbed yesterday. I almost wanted to hike up it again to get a better view. Nawwww, been there done that. Anyway, the low clouds started to roll in.

My quest is taking me through yet another single lane tunnel. This one is a step up in space and quality from the other day. I got through it only having to pull out once.

Sand patterns. There are small, white, quartzy kinds of flecks in the black rock. And, some of the white might be from broken sea shells. There are a lot of mussel shells strewn about.

You know, there's always got to be one in the bunch that wants to become a statistic! Sometimes they'll just be lying in the middle of the road chewing their cud.
