Sunset
 Photo Album: Sunset |
A few days ago I drove home from Tórshavn with the setting sun shining in my eyes until we got to Eysturoy. There was no wind, and the sea was very still, reflecting the passing mountains and towns. Skálafjørður Bay was like a mirror.
We arrived in Gøta, but we drove right past Gunnleyg’s house, through the tunnel to Leirvík. I hadn’t seen a sunset for two months in the Faroe Islands, and in the summer, Leirvík, with its view to the north, is the perfect place to see a sunset. If we had waited just a few more hours, we could also have seen the sunrise from just about the same place.

You’ve often mentioned the tunnel system in the islands, Jenny. How many islands are connected by tunnel, and do you know when this construction took place? Thanks for any info. — Paul

Wow! Beautiful photos of your first (and probably last) sunset of this trip!
