Friends of the Faroes...

On the island of Vidoy, in the Faroe Islands, there happens to be the friendliest of sheep...most of the time sheep are curious, but when you get close, they become shy and reserved...not these sheep. Today, as the wind continuously blew through the northern most Faroe Islands, I found myself staying inside the car and driving slowly and taking in all of my surroundings...see below who I happened upon!

WHOA! These sheep are really friendly. Thinking that I was their farmer with feed, they came barreling down the hillside and approached hesitantly. As they meandered closer and closer, I slowly grabbed my camera, knowing that these cuties are quite camera shy...as I waited for them to run, they just kept getting closer, more and more of them. This one in particular!

This guy had been hanging out at the car for some time, tried to eat my rearview mirror...and decided after a few minutes, that it was time to head out to find something "real" to eat, or on second thought, maybe the wind moved him...

This is the road I was driving. I tried to get out and hike a bit, but the wind was so intense, that I figured that I would just stay put and take some photos.
