Faroe Islands
It wouldn’t be surprising if people aren’t familiar with this place as I most certainly wasn’t until I kept seeing photos of it pop up in photos and stories from landscape photographers. It’s a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean situated in between Iceland and Norway.
Some of the most surreal and dreamy landscapes I’ve ever seen were on these islands. Everything felt like it was scaled to epic proportions from the sheer cliffs to the beautiful jagged rock formations in the sea, to the various sharp edges on different mountainsides. Their quaint villages all grouped together in little nooks of the island with their roofs made of grass; some of these villages were so isolated that they had less than 20 permanent residents. Driving on their roads was basically going through a blur of beautiful scenery with random backdrops of waterfalls scattered about all over the place. It honestly felt like you were living in someones vivid imagination.
