Faroe Islands, June 1973, Vagar & Mykines

End of June/early July 1973 my friend Hein Rijven and I made a trip to the Faroe Islands.
Hein died two years later on July 10, 1975 during mountain climbing in Gran Paradiso, Italy.
These scanned slides of our trip to Faroe Islands are meant as a tribute to Hein.
This gallery covers the first part of our trip to the islands Vagar and Mykines/Mykinesholmur at end of June 1973.
