The sands are running out, red-letter days ahead, another year is drawing to an end. What more need to be said. This time next year things might be back to normal, almost, hopefully. For now, My Faroe Islands sends out its December greeting card, good wishes accompanied with a portraiture of Elduvík, our little village by the sea. Houses, church, grass roofs, sea, mountain, hills and the neighboring island Kalsoy in a pinkish and velvety northern winter light, the pretty face of winter in the Faroes. What else is new, what’s the talk of the town (in the islands: Tórshavn, Klaksvík)? Another subsea tunnel project (the Eystur- og Sandoyartunlar) that goes with an undersea traffic circle and remarkable light installations; the main one resembling a giant jellyfish, surrounded by a chain of dancers. Check out Faroe Photo on Facebook or Local.fo (Facebook and website), they have the latest pictures of the jellyfish. Below, get a taste of it, with kind permission of friend and photographer Ólavur Frederiksen. Maybe you get to see the jellyfish next year, in person, driving around, discovering the islands and a little village by the sea. You never know.
