The Viking town of Klaksvik is nestled on the island of Borðoy in the Faroe Islands. This out-of-the-way place in the Kingdom of Denmark, is a photographer's dream in the summer and winter...thank the stars for digital! This place is big on fishing and is perfectly situated between two inlets lying back-to-back. The mountains that just sprout up out of sea make this village look like something out of middle-earth. Yeah, there are some great historic sites and the local brew from 1888 has its definite appeal. However, it's hard not to stub your toes at every turn while wandering the streets while staring at those two giants called Klakkur Mountain and Hálgafelli Mountain. Yes, you will say Geeze Louise! If you ever want to really feel the true vibe of Northern Europe, this is the place. There is something about the Faroe Islands that make you feel wonderfully alone on this planet…and that’s a really cool feeling. This bracelet was made to have a rough Scandinavian design to it with all its different wood textures and tonal colors, especially with the Vintage Inlaid Wood Bead. The Kiwi Jasper Beads remind you of the sea's colors at the height of winter, and the White Howlite Beads represent those surrounding cold, snow-capped peaks. The large, snarling Bone Mala Skull is there to remind you of Klaksvik’s rough and tough Viking past. It's not a place you will ever forget...but watch your toes while looking around. Skál!
