Risin and Kellingin
"The Wandress walks in the Faroe's wet wilderness,
She looks to the North and can't help but stare,
Trapped in cold stone, yet still very villainous,
The Witch and the Giant, the larcenous pair.
"We're taking this land to use as we please!"
Said the Witch and the Giant as they left in the night
But these hardy islands proved not easy to seize,
And too soon came back their enemy, Sunlight.
The Wandress still gazing contemplates this day
and the evil that truth and light makes scurry away."

The sea stacks, Risin og Kellingin, Faroe Islands. Myth has it that the Giant (Risin) and the Witch (Kellingin) came from Iceland in the night to steal the Faroes and take them for themselves. This task was harder than they expected though, and they turned to stone when the sun rose.
Photo collaboration with Nick. Kinda funny how this looks like a black and white with a color pop, but really, it was just that gloomy! haha The next day was clear and sunny though, and we hiked out to the end of the tall cliffs in the clouds (which are over 1,000ft tall, the view was incredible). The Faroes' weather is very unpredictable!
