During our stay in the village of Gjógv on the north coast of the island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands, we frequently visited the lookout on our daily trips to explore the amazing scenery of the islands. We often passed the sea stacks known as Risin og Kellingin, or as they are often called, The Giant and The Witch. The legend behind the name of the sea stacks can be easily found on the internet.
Over three days, we saw them at various times of the day and in a range of weather conditions, sometimes totally obscured by heavy rain. While I have several photos to choose from, I thought this shot, taken late afternoon, with the stream and wildflowers in the foreground, captured the stark nature and form of the two sea stacks.
