If you go to Tjørnuvík in the Faroe Islands, you will soon see the rocks rising out of the sea on the road towards the village. These spires are called Risin og Kellingin and mean 'the giant and the witch'. They can be found in a fairly inaccessible spot along one of the rugged coastlines of Faroe Islands. They stand in the sea next to Eiðiskollur, a 343-metre-high sea cliff on the north coast of the island of Eysturoy. Risin (the giant) has a height of 71 metres and Kellingin (the witch) rises 69 metres above the sea surface. A piece of one of the stacks already broke off at the beginning of the 20th century. It can be extremely haunting around the islands and Risin og Kellingin have to endure quite a lot. Local geologists therefore predict that it will not be long before the two-legged Kellingin will break off or fall over completely.
At the time I took the picture, clouds were rising after a beautiful sunny day. The sun shines on the rocks with the last rays of sunlight, colouring the clouds. Besides, the fresh colours of green stand out beautifully against simultaneously threatening clouds.
