Photographer's Note
A view over Kunoy village on Kunoy island with the Kalsoy Island in the background.Shot taken during one of my bicycle trips.
Some info on Kunoy and Kalsoy from Wikipedia:
Kunoy is an island located in the north-east of the Faroe Islands between Kalsoy and Borðoy (to which it is linked via a causeway). There are two settlements on Kunoy: Kunoy, on the west coast and Haraldssund on the south-east coast. A third settlements, Skarð, was the site of a fishing accident on Christmas Eve, 1913 which killed seven men (all the male population except a 14 year old and a 70 year old). The women decided to move to Haraldssund, and the area is now deserted. The island also has five mountains: Havnartindur (820 m), Middagsfjall (806 m), Kunoyarnakkur (820 m), Ranndalur (703 m) and Urðafjall (817 m).
Kalsoy is an island located in the north-east of the Faroe Islands between Eysturoy and Kunoy. Due to the island's thin shape and road-tunnels it is known as 'the flute'. There are four settlements on Kalsoy, all located on the east coast (the west coast is steep cliff): Húsar, Mikladalur, Syðradalur and Trøllanes. The towns are connected to each other via tunnels, some of which are up to 2 km long. There is a lighthouse at Kallur, the northern-tip of Kalsoy. The island has 13 peaks, the two highest mountains are: Nestindar (787 m) and Botnstindur (743 m).

Bonjour Sylvester,
cette photo donne vraiment envie de visiter ce joli coin du Danemark, de ces Iles Faroe très attirantes.
Verdure, pas trop de maisons, quel merveilleuse région.
Bien cadré, excellent POV.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Sylwester,
Wonderful colours! Faroe islands have been my dream since I was a child, don't ask me why, but I still haven't been there... Though I think the weather there is not always as nice as shown here, eh? ;)
Anyway, this picture was my desktop wallpaper for a month or so. Thank you for sharing it.
Alexander
