While the day started out in typical Faroe Island fashion with grey skies and high winds, by the time we moved down to photograph Bosdalarfossur the clouds had parted, and for a brief time we had sunshine and blue skies! The island was transformed into a lush paradise by the sea, and suddenly we felt like we were on a proper summer holiday!
The lake is the largest in the Faroe Islands and is also called “The lake above the ocean”. The view from a particular angle functions as an optical illusion, appearing to look as though the lake is hovering directly above the ocean.
At the end of the lake is the impressive Bøsdalafossur waterfall. The 30m high waterfall flowing directly into the Atlantic Ocean. From the same viewpoint you get a great view of the beautiful sea stack Geituskoradrangur.

Floating Lake Sørvágsvatn is the largest lake in the Faroe Islands. It is situated on the island of Vágar
Faroe Islands floating Lake also known as Lake Leitisvatn seen from the cliff Trælanípa. The scale is enormous and the drop is so scary after a few shots is enough as started to feel giddy from the height and decided to go and photography elsewhere.

Wikipedia:
Gásadalur (Danish: Gåsedal) is a village located on the west side of Vágar, Faroe Islands, and enjoys a panoramic view over to the island of Mykines.
Gásadalur is located on the edge of Mykinesfjørður, surrounded by the highest mountains on Vágar. Árnafjall towers to a height of 722 metres to the north, and Eysturtindur to the east is 715 metres high. Here too, the view south to Tindhólmur and Gáshólmur is quite magnificent.
The landing site is very poor, because it is located somewhat higher than the seashore. So if the residents wanted to fish they were obliged to keep their boats near Bøur. In 1940, during the British occupation of the Faroe Islands, a stairway was built from the beach up to the village.
In order to reach any of the other villages, they had to take the strenuous route over mountains more than 400 metres high. This explains why the village population has become smaller and smaller. In 2002 there were only sixteen people living in Gásadalur, and several of the houses stand empty today. It had a population of 18 in 2012.[1]
In 2004 a tunnel was blasted through the rock, and it is possible to drive through by car. The residents hope this will mean that the village population will increase again. There are good opportunities for farming, and the same number of fields as in Bøur, but here only a few are royal estate. Most of them are freehold land.

Le lac Sørvágsvatn est le plus grand lac des îles Féroé. Il est perché 30 mètres au-dessus de l'Océan. Il est bordé de belles pentes qui se terminent en falaises abruptes

Foto tirada em Paraty, RJ, Brasil. mar/2017
Quem visita Paraty, não pode deixar de fazer um passeio de charrete pela cidade para entrar em outra época. O caminhar é vagaroso devido às pedras “pés-de-moleque” de suas ruas.
Eles passam por 18 pontos turísticos do centro histórico e contam um pouco da história de Paraty.
One of the most unique sights in the Faroe Islands are “Drangarnir”. Drangarnir are two sea stacks between Vágar and the islet Tindhólmur. The distinct names of Drangarnir are Stóri Drangur and Lítli Drangur which can be translated into Large- and Small sea stack.
