When I was a teenager my grandfather (on my mother’s side) knew nothing better than to take me to historical places in the Faroe Islands and tell me the old tales of the places we visited together. . One of the stories he was particularly fond of telling was that of the old ruined St. Magnus Cathedral in Kirkjubøur. . I would’ve loved to have today’s technology back then, so I could have recorded some of these trips and relived them again today. . Tak for alle historierne, morfar! Vi elsker dig! 💜 . . . . . #múrurin #stmagnuscathedral #kirkjubøur #storytelling #visitfaroeislands #faroeislands #smyrilline #atlanticairways #thefaroeislands #roamthefaroeislands #fog #nature #naturephotography #naturephotographer #femalephotographer #landscapephotography #ocean #weathergodsplayground #62degreesnorth #faroesebyheart #atlanticocean #islandgirl #geoview #scandinavianwanderers #scandinavia #birdsofinstagram #cliffs #rawnature #simonechristinedotcom (at Kirkjubøur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3L6B5Dbcu/?igshid=1hba8od3qshkq

#10yearsagotoday Bondi and I walked into Kirkwall to see the island metropolis in daylight. The very short pedestrianised centre runs up to the red sandstone of St Magnus Cathedral. A great example of Norman architecture, construction began in 1137 and its stonemasons came from work on Durham Cathedral. The cathedral is owned by the people of Kirkwall rather than any established church. The last final of the original series of Mastermind was conducted here, undoubtedly in deference to the host Magnus Magnusson. The burial markers within the cathedral almost all have a prominent skull and crossbones motif, a symbol of mortality. This is further underlined by the presence of hourglass and coffin imagery. I drove around the top of the Western side of Mainland, spending most time around Birsay Bay (photo) on the trail of some of the local craftspeople. There are many jewellers, silversmith, potters and weavers who have workshop galleries well signposted around the islands. I like some of the local silverwork, especially an item based on an animal figure of Pictish origin, known as "the noble but gentle beast". #Scotland2007 #scotland #orkney #stmagnuscathedral (at St. Magnus Cathedral)

#10yearsagotoday I took a turn west of Maeshowe to a 'Loch Viewpoint'. It was rather windy, but Bondi tore off through the grass like a demented jack rabbit, and I followed him around a track to a grassy knoll looking over Loch Harray. An angler was wading nearby, while a ballet of swans sheltered in the lee of a small islet. The clouds dissipated further and we lay on our not-so-high vantage point for the best part of an hour, watching birds and weather wheel around us. I fell to talking with a lady in Stromness about the dull browns and greys of the buildings across Orkney. On a previous day someone had defended it on the basis that "colours only work in Mediterranean light", which I thought was quite wrong: just look at all the colourful buildings around the Norwegian fjords. Apparently the local councils forbid any display of colour, appealing to tradition - although I don't imagine that some of the awful crusty pebble fascias are very traditional. It must make it very difficult to locate buildings during the reduced daylight hours of an Orkney winter. At Orphir, the kirk of St Nicholas is all that remains of the only surviving round church in Scotland. It's about 900 years old, and based on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, a remembrance of those returning from the Crusades. The foundations of a Buor drinking hall from the same period may be found just outside the cemetery wall. #Scotland2007 #scotland #orkney #alaskanmalamute #stmagnuscathedral #lochharray #orphir (at Harray Loch)
