Oh Faroe | Gásadalur, Faroe Islands
From altitude above Gásadalur, the turquoise Atlantic meets the Faroe Islands' basalt coastline - white surf in the rock crevices, vivid moss and seaweed covering the lava formations, the colour contrast between the clear ocean and the dark ancient rock absolute.

"The quality of the images was greater than I could have ever hoped for. I am proud to call myself a collector of his work."
Matthew D. ·
Gásadalur is one of the most remote villages in the Faroe Islands - a handful of houses on a plateau above sea cliffs that drop directly into the North Atlantic, accessible by road only since 2004 when a tunnel through the mountain finally connected it to the rest of Vágar island. The coastline here is ancient basalt, formed by volcanic activity 55 million years ago and since then continuously shaped by Atlantic swell - the rock fractured into columns and crevices, the surfaces colonised by moss and kelp in vivid greens and yellow-brown. From altitude the turquoise of the clear Atlantic water and the dark texture of the rock form a composition of unusual colour intensity for a northern coastline.
This image was selected for exhibition at Fotografiska, the Stockholm museum of photography - one of the few images from the Airpixels collection to have been shown in a gallery context. The vivid turquoise and dark rock palette works in any interior and is one of the most colour-rich coastal images in the collection.
