Great First Day

Looking forward to seeing the film from this spot.  This place is amazing!

Night and Day

It was a long day of travel getting here, but worth every minute. The group is together after a successful meet up in Copenhagen. We arrived to some pretty fine weather by Faroese standards. After some fine local brew and our first dinner together, we're all pretty wiped out and hitting our pillows. Time to dream about all that is to come!

Here's the view of Torshavn Harbor upon arrival as well as a few minutes ago. 10 o'clock and still light out. That's how I like it! Goodnight all! Stay tuned for much more!

Finally!!

I just checked in my flight to Copenhagen and received my virtual boardingpass!

How a dream unfolds into reality!

I collected all my gear; my weary old tripod, my camera, my two faithful lenses, a few filters (meticulously cleaned, for the first time during their excistence ;-) ), some clothes, some Danish Krones and my passport.. And above all my favourite collection of music, no life or journey without it!

Eager to meet my fellow travellers at Copenhagen!

Good Fortune

Last night while eating in the local Chinese eatery, this is what popped out of my fortune cookie. Pretty wild, eh?

Where Are the Faroe Islands???

I get a lot of questions from people wondering just where the Faroe Islands are. Draw a triangle with Iceland, Scotland and Norway as points and just about in the center is where you'll find them. Comprising 18 islands in total, they are a magical place that I like to describe as a cross between Iceland and Ireland.

Gearing Up!

Getting the gear shined up and ready to go! This time the Xpan gets to come along as well. It is left home all too often as it can be a distraction, but I love it and it is time for it to see the Faroes.  I often feel that too many choices on a trip like this can be counter productive, but that's no reason to leave a wonderful camera at home. One of these days I hope to make it the only camera I bring, but not this time.

Wheels up day after tomorrow! Very much looking forward to meeting the group in Copenhagen! Safe travels everyone!

Final Preparations

I'm new to blogging!  Getting my gear ready for this incredible adventure!!  Weather will certainly be different from California!
