So is Queen independently wealthy again ? <| sep |> Seems like Faroe Island pictures are popular right now , and deservedly so ! I went this August and the country is absolutely remarkable , like nowhere else I ' ve been before . Everywhere you turn , there are massive cliffs plummeting straight into the ocean . If that ' s your thing , bird watching is amazing especially if you ' re a fan of puffins . The people are extremely warm and friendly and eager to share their culture with foreigners . Hiking is also amazing . This picture was taken on the direct edge of a cliff , overlooking the ocean , with a waterfall from one of only two lakes on the island dropping straight into the sea . If you can manage to go during a window of good weather ie . minimal rain , cold , and no 50 mph winds , I highly recommend it .
