Saksun is a remote village near the northwest coast of the Faroese island of Streymoy. It lies in the bottom of what used to be an inlet of the sea, surrounded by high mountains. The inlet formed a good deep natural harbor, until a storm blocked it with sand. The village’s church was originally built in nearby Tjørnuvík, but in 1858 it was disassembled, carried over the mountains and reassembled in Saksun. All photos taken with the Nikon Z6 and 14-30mm f/4 or 24-200mm f/4-6.3 lens. Processed using Photoshop CC and either Nik Collection’s Color or Silver Efex Pro.
