After super windy sunrise on Funningur cliff I hiked down to the car and follow the mountain road towards village Eiði. Right below the car park, where I started my hike to the mountain, I had to stop again. I just couldn't resist this magnificent vista. Sun was shining with fantastic, morning light, on fjord and surrounding hills. On the bottom of this gully, you can see gorgeous village of Funningur. How little it looks in this massive landscape. By legend, the first viking -Grímur Kamban, who settled on Faroe Islands, settled right here, in this village. That legend is only adding magical aura to this magnificent spot. What a treat for me in the morning. This shot was very tricky as sun was beaming with super strong yellow light. Becouse of that I was losing green colour and shades on the foreground. I managed to balance it so it looked more natural and exactly as I saw it.
