Or may be some comment ! This cat is taking advantage of every minute of sunshine ! As the weather is changing so rapidly, it has better not waste any moment ! Don't disturb ! Why is it black ? Because black is the color that adsorbs the most the heat of the sun, then it gets a few more calories than a white cat would do !! |

| Enniberg Cliffs |  | |
| | ||
 |  on December 7, 2005 |
The Enniberg headland is located at the northernmost point of the Faroe Islands on the island of Viđoy. They are within easy walking distance of the most northely Faroese village of Viđareiđi. It is however a bit of a slog up to the top and great care should be taken if there is low cloud as the cliff edge is not fenced off. The Enniberg cliffs are the highest sea cliffs in Europe (750m) and are a good place for watching sea birds with Puffins and Fulmars in abundance. The photo by the way taken about half way up the headland. |

| An orchid here ? | | |
| | ||
| on November 15, 2004 |
In the mind of most peoples, orchids are associated with tropical countries. However, orchids grow wild in the Feroes, at sea level. They are small species of the same type than those found in the Alps between 1,000 and 1,500 m elevation. |

| Gjógv | | |

 |  on September 18, 2002 |
I have to say, whoever it was who said that all of the Faroe Islands is off the beaten path is totally right. That is the beauty of the place. It is so untouched, and so beautiful. But Gjógv, among many other spots, is a sight to behold. Definitely check it out. |

| Potatoes | | |
| | ||
| on November 15, 2004 |
In order to protect the young potato plants from the strong winds, the tubercles are planted underneath thin slabs of peat. When the plant grows and goes out of its protection, it is strong enough to resist to the wind. |

| French here ? | | |
| | ||
| on November 15, 2004 |
It is unexpected to find here a shop with a French name, André (with an accent on the e !). They must have been here for at least two generations, perhaps more, as the shop manager is called André Andrésen (André, son of André)! |

 |  on August 26, 2002 |
Hiking on Eysturoy. I spent six days here alone, with my tent. I was looking for a perfectly safe place, where I could choose my routes, where aren’t the hordes of tourists. And I found it. I’ve hardly ever met another human being here. It was great time, full of peace and relaxation. There’s no way to get lost on Eysturoy, the mountains are not hard to climb, green grass everywhere, lovely landscapes, picturesque villages Eidi and Gjogv. I hope one day I’ll do it once again. |
