evening fog

On a stay at the Faroe Islands some years back, I took the ferry from Torshavn (the capital) to the southernmost island, Suduroy, and looked up potential shooting locations on the island. This image was taken a little before the sun was setting in the ocean, with wind from the west (left). With the uplift of the humid air at the cliffs, fog and clouds drifted over the island. A quite typical situation; the ocean can be more or less cloud free, but the islands are generally covered in clouds. I think the locals talk about less than a handful days without clouds in a typical year.

I finished the shooting around mid night, without any bed for the night (I can be quite unorganised, particularly when drifting around with a camera...). But I stopped at a small hotel in a village close to the cliffs, hoping for a roof for the night. The doors were locked, so I was standing outside, knocking on the doors I could see. After quite some time, the owner showed up. It's safe to say he was more than skeptical to welcome guests after midnight. After some conversation - and with the room paid upfront - he agreed to let me in. After 16+ hours of shooting, it felt wonderful to dive into a bed...
