This is one of many historic black churches through the Faeroes. They are all teeny, black painted, have the grass on the roof. Our guide is the blond woman opening the door. As you can see from the other people in the picture, mom, dad, and I were some of the younger people on the cruise.
The Faeroe Islands are a volcanic island group, like Hawaii. I actually thought the islands looked like Hawaii but without the trees & tropical vegetation. The islands have many, many streams/waterfalls like this one. We have stopped at a "farm" that really consists of a few buildings. These two small buildings are smokehouses. We were told by our guide that the islands get rain almost all year round but we were lucky to have arrived on one of the few sunny days.
If you look up "bleak" in the dictionary, I believe this is the photo that accompanies the definition. Very pretty but so isolated. It was wind and cold on this side of the island.
Here is our ship behind the capital city of Torshavn. Our tour was in the afternoon, so that morning, we walked around the city.
