Mostly Water


Photo Album: Water from my Window

Photo Album: Frozen Waterfall

The appearance of the bay waters from my window is changing constantly. It reflects the sky, the mountains, and the weather. Here are a few pictures from this week plus parts of some older pictures, showing mostly the water that I see from my house.

I also want to include this photo of one of the frozen creeks on the hill above my house, along the main road into town.

This coming Saturday night (the first weekend of April) will be the time change to daylight savings time in California. What I learned this past Sunday is that, in the Faroe Islands, the time change is the last weekend of March. I discovered this when I went to church on Sunday, and as I entered the church, the priest was just concluding his sermon and starting his prayer. I sang along with the last two hymns, and then left with everyone else. That was the shortest church service I have attended.

It snowed off and on all day today, but I pretended it was summer, and made pancakes (crepes) with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Delicious! There are just a few left, so give me a call if you want to share them with me. Jonathan, I used your recipe for the crepes.

    I love the way your photos always have a theme; these of the various views of the bay are beautiful, especially the moonlight shots.

    When you get into Torshavn sometime, it would be great to see some spring views of the city. I have no real notion of what Torshavn looks like, particularly the harbor, and would love to know more. Always enjoy your photos!
