Summarið er komið

Vit hava nú havt sól og summar í tríggir dagar á rað! Hitin hevur ligið um tey 20 stigini. Í Føroyum er tað sera heitt, tá hitin er um 20 stig, og tá fara næstan øll útum at njóta hendan deiliga hitan, og at hugna sær saman við vinfólki og familju. Nøkur seta seg bert útum at fáa sær eitt prát, onnur fara at grilla, og nøkur fara á sandin, at "sóla" sær, og at hava tað stuttligt. Og kanska onkur fer ein lítlan svimjitúr í sjónum, eisini? :P

Skýggj vóru næstan ikki at síggja á himmalinum - sjálvur taldi eg eitt einstakt. Tað er ikki ofta at so gott veður er í Føroyum, og tí eru vit øll sera takksom og royna at njóta hvønn ein góðveðursdag, ið kemur.

Summer has come

We've had a sun for three days in a row now! The temperature has been around 20 degrees Celcius(68 F). That's warm in the Faroe Islands, and almost everybody go outside to enjoy the nice heat, and to enjoy themselves together with friends and family. Some just sit down outside and have a talk, others barbecue, and some go on the beach to "tan" themselves, and have some fun. And maybe some take a little swim into the ocean, as well? :P

There were almost no clouds in the air - I, myself, could only count one single cloud. It's not often that we have such good weather in the Faroes, and we are therefor all very grateful and try to enjoy all the days with good weather, that comes along.

The Faroe Islands in Panorama

Myself, I haven't yet been to the Faroe islands. But this collection of beautiful, high quality panoramas might just be the next best thing.

http://www.360cities.net/area/faroe-islands

It isn't the easiest site in the world to navigate, but start by clicking on one of the thumbnails, look for the arrow hotspots, and explore. Some of the panoramas show quaint little towns complete grass roofs, others show the capital of Tórshavn, some little alleyways and backyards that make the Faroe Islands seem real, and still others the sweeping and breathtakingly beautiful Faroese landscape.

I spent about 10 minutes looking around, and picked some of my favourite pictures to show.

Føroyar í panorama

Eg sjálv havi ikki verið í Føroyum. Men hendan samlingin av vøkru og hágóðsku myndunum kann væl vera tað næst besta!

http://www.360cities.net/area/faroe-islands

Tað er ikki tann lættasta síðani í verðini at reika á, men byrja við at trýsta á tummilsmyndirnar, finn pílarnar, og reika víðari runt í panoramunum. Nøkur av panoramunum vísa hugnaligar lítlar bygdir, hús við grastekjum, aðrar vísa Tórshavn, høvuðsstaðin, og aftur aðrar vísa bergtakandi vakra landsskapið í Føroyum.

Eg brúkti einar 10 minuttir uppá at hyggja runt, og valdi tær bestu burturúr, at vísa her.

See the adorable grass roofs in an 'urban' environment! :D Too sweet!
Hygg at teimum hugnaligu grastekjunum í einum hugnaligum býarumhvørvi! :D Alt ov fitt!



Tinganes, Tórshavn
I felt like this screen captured so much about the small scale of the Faroe Islands - there is just something extraordinary about the simple benches outside of what is probably the most famous building in the Faroe Islands.
Eg kendi tað sum um hendan myndin fangaði so nógv um, hvussu lítlar Føroyar eru - har er bara okkurt serligt um hasar einklu benkurnar uttanfyri tað, sum nokk er kendasti bygningurin í Føroyum.


Sandavagur
This little pink church is so sweet! And the low mountains around are also lovely.
Henda lítla ljósareyða kirkjan er so søt! Og lágu fjøllini rundan um eru eisini deilig.


And this one is my favourite: Near Bøur
If you enable 'hot spots' on the lefthand side, you can actually find the arrows (this time they are on the road) and go to other Faroese panoramas within the embedded player.
Og hetta er mín yndis: Nær við Bø
Um tú velur "hot spots" til vinstru, finnur tú faktiskt pílarnir (hesu ferð eru teir á vegnum), og kanst fara til aðrar føroyskar panorama'ir, í sama spælarinum.

Kavi!

Tá eg vaknaði í morgun, heldur svøvntungur, og hugdi út gjøgnum vindeyga, og sá hvussu ljóst tað var úti, serliga tí at fjøllini vóru kavaklødd, tá vaknaði eg beinanvegin ordiliga, eg fekk eitt gott lag á! Eg plagi annars ikki vanliga at gerast í so góðum hýri, so tíðliga á morgni; um tað var tí at eg hevði sovi lutfallsliga leingi, ella tí at tað var ljóst og kavi úti, eitt boð um at várið byrjar at nærkast, veit eg so ikki.

Snow!

When I woke up this morning, kind of sleepy, and looked out through the window, I saw how light it was outside, and especially how the mountains were covered in snow, I actually woke up immediately, and I was in a great mood! I'm not normally, so early in the morning, so I don't know whether it was because I had slept comparatively late, or because it was so light and snowy outside, or whether it was a message that spring is coming...




Eg tók eina mynd, beint tá eg kom úr arbeiði; tá varð nakað av kavanum longu bráðnaður.
I took a picture, on my way home from work; a lot of the snow had melted.
