Føroyar
“The name Føroyar (Faroe Islands) is derived from old Norse word "Færeyjar" and means "Sheep
Islands", a name given by the Norse people that settled these rough and wind-swept isles during the Viking Age.
You can find sheep everywhere on the islands, but usually they are very shy and run away, so I was very lucky to be able to capture this picture.
The rock in the background is called "Trøllkonufingur", which means "the Troll woman’s finger", a 313 meter tall monolith. Legend has it that Trøllkonufingur is the finger of a witch that came to throw the Faroe Islands to Iceland. When she reached the sea the sun rose, she was turned into stone and fell into the ocean.”
