Yesterday
I could the whole day observe how over the water Kunoy and Borðoy appeared and
disappeared in the rain, Sam the ferry continued undisturbed on his route and
the giant window pane swayed slightly in the wind.
Weather
forecast says that today it is a good idea to climb to the Kallur lighthouse
and the forecast is right. There is wind but it is not too strong. Rain stops
around eleven.
The
hike to the lighthouse starts in Trøllanes, the furthest village on the island.
By the time when I appear from around the mountain side has the earlier tourist
couple almost finished their selfie-shoot. A narrow path above steep abyss on
both sides leads to a place where the lighthouse is in frame together with the
huge cliff. Nice spot they have chosen to build it but for some reason my feet shake
most of the hiking time here. It was worth waiting two days for the rain to
stop. Before going GPS tells me that here’s a geocaching treasure. While I
fumble with the plastic boxes narrow columns of rain approach from the sea
which results in wonderful light play. So this time geocaching was useful
because without it I would have missed all that.
Big
waves hit the rocks in Trøllanes and it starts to rain again. In the evening
sun lights some snow-powdered peaks under dark purple clouds.
