Artist's Comments

1982.

Kvivik is on the island of Streymoy - the same island as Tórshavn. The headland on the left of the photo is also part of Streymoy, but all the other bits of land are different islands. From the left: Streymoy, Hestur (the Horse), Sandoy, Koltur (the Colt), and Vágar. Between Koltur and Vágar it's the open Atlantic.

Vágar has the only airport in the Faroes - it's the only island with a big enough flat patch of land!

I'd have loved to have stopped and looked at this village properly, but this view from the road past it is all I got.

I visited this part of the Faroe Islands with my parents, in their car, on their retirement "splurge" holiday on which I was a spare driver. A comment on holidaying with my parents from one of my nieces is apposite: "That looks like an interesting castle! :) Didn't it... :( "

I went back to the Faroes the following year on my own, for a proper look...didn't make it back to Iceland for twenty years, and still haven't made it back to Greenland.

My "proper look" never got as far as Kvivik, though.

I expect everyone there does know everyone else! :)
:iconcoshipi:
Indeed. If you like a quiet life... :)

It's not so very far from Tórshavn though, which although it's only small, is very active. After that, it's an awful long way to anywhere.
:iconcoshipi:
Thank you! :)

If I disliked your work, I wouldn't be viewing it! I'm not especially interested in some of it - but some is very much to my taste. People vary, vive les differences!
:iconbeastinside:
i hope you'll be able to stop there someday... it really looks a special place... :)
