SEPTEMBER IN THE FAROE ISLANDS
Link Copied!
September in the Faroe Islands is a time when the islands really are the most beautiful in terms of color, light and shade as they begin to settle into a cosy, autumnal rhythm. The crisp air carries the scent of the sea, and the landscapes start to glow with warm, earthy tones. While the days grow shorter, there’s still plenty of daylight to explore. The weather can be a mix of sunshine, mist, and the occasional rain shower, adding a touch of drama to the already stunning scenery.
The living room is cleared. The host taps a wine glass with a knife, and people file in... Soon every seat in the modern, glass-and-wood house is taken, a bottle of schnapps is passed around, and a few babies are passed around, too.
