Between Iceland, Norway and Scotland, there is a little-known country called the Faroe Islands. Officially speaking, the Faroe Islands are an autonomous territory of Denmark, but the Faroe Islands have an independent parliament, an independent government, and even their own currency (1 to 1 with the Danish krone), and the language is a separate Faroese language.
Because it is both a country and not a country, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is little known, in fact, this archipelago is not as small as you think, and it is hundreds of kilometers away from the largest island.
Photographer Lazar Gintchin photographed the fertile fields, jewel-colored waters and timeless mist and dreamlike environment of Middle-earth on the archipelago. It's full of energy and dreams, the kind that can only be seen in movies or fairy tales.
In this compelling set of photographs, Kinchin captures the ethereal, captivating qualities of the Faroe Islands, where you can see lush, moss-covered cliffs, frozen bays and the cabins that occupy the area.
"In the Faroe Islands, if you're in a magical valley with a hillside, people might think of it as hobbit land," he said. ”
