The Faroe Islands lie approximately half-way between the most northerly point of the British Isles and Iceland. Although they are a self-governing island, in fact they belong, as does Greenland, to the kingdom of Denmark. The Faroese capital is Torshavn and the total population of the Faroe Islands is just over 50,000. The archipelago has 18 main islands, all of them rugged and rocky with the coastline consisting mainly of cliffs.
I include below a number of my photographs taken in and around Torshavn in 2008.
Great photos! Are they difficult to get to?

Several cruises stop at Torshavn, and there is an airport. Certainly worth the effort – given the right weather conditions, Maggie.

It certainly can be, but 50,000 inhabitants seem to cope. Certainly much beauty there. Thanks, A.
