Tiny village and waterfall

Another shot from the ferry on the return trip from Mykines. Perhaps more of a large farm, but the people who live there get to enjoy the constant flow of the small stream down the cliff side;

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

My eyes were drawn to other parts of this picture. Both the village and the waterfall are really tiny.

Lovely curve. The mist creates a great atmosphere

Wow! The immensity and vastness in the composition is incredible! It dwarfs the waterfall and village. The hovering clouds not only makes this enchanting, but makes the color and texture shine without direct sunlight. Great capture.

@Steven: thanks for your kind words. I was tempted to crop a bit of the somewhat bland sky off the top, but your comment makes me glad I resisted the urge.

I like the little waterfall that falls into the sea and the misty cliffs!

Those cliffs look really impressive when you compare its scale to the village.

It is fascinating how the cliffs just rise up straight from the sea in the Faroe Islands. I love the mood which is very typical of the place based my experience and other photos. Clouds add to the atmosphere. I also like how the green grass mixes with the rough rock.

This is such an amazing scene. The tiny village with the sweeping view of the mountain. The clouds clinging to the mountain really adds to the image. A magnificent composition.

I understand that this farm does not lack water thanks to this waterfall.
Looking at the clouds, I think the rain tends to fall just before the mountain.
It is a majestic landscape.

It could even be a skateboard ramp.
There must have been some crazy person who used it to slide.
:-D

Great photo with excellent composition.

This small village seems very small in this huge setting.
