Saksun - Summer 2014

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saksun is a village near the northwest coast of the Faroese island of Streymoy.
Saksun 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 harbour, until a storm blocked the inlet with sand. This made the old harbour become an unaccessible seawater lagoon (only accessible by small boats on high tide).
The village has a church and museum. The church was originally built in Tjørnuvík, but in 1858 it was disassembled, carried over the mountains and reassembled in Saksun. The Museum occupies a seventeenth century farm house called Dúvugarður. The house belongs to the Dúvugarður farm, still an active sheep farm with approximately 300 ewes.

Färöer: Oyggjarvegur
Roadmovie einer Rundfahrt über die Straßen 10 und 50 im Süden von Streymoy. Von Tórshavn geht es zunächst über den als Oyggjarvegur bezeichneten Teilabschnitt der Straße 10 bis zum Kollafjørður. Die Strecke führt in bis zu 300m Höhe an den markanten Bergen Sornfelli und Skæling vorbei und ist die landschaftlich eindrucksvollste Straße der Färöer. Zurück geht es auf der Straße 50 vom Kollafjørður durch einen Tunnel zum Kaldbaksfjørður. Diesem folgen wir bis zum Fjordausgang.
Die Filmsequenzen wurden am 02.06.2004 mit einer Konica Minolta Dimage 7i aufgenommen. Die Videofunktion dieser damals führendem Bridgekamera ermöglichte lediglich Aufnahmen im Format 320*240px bei einer Bildrate von 15fps.
