Faroese Music ; Katrinevalsen by Spaelimenninir

A bit of a track from a tape I've had for nearly 25 years. Hope you like it. The Northern Lights photo is from Scotland.

I want to go to the Faroe Islands! It is so pretty and the northern lights too! But I live in America so I can't really see them here. :'(

@foxxylover12 Thanks for the note. It is a fairly well-known fact that during the Civil war battle at Fredericksburg there was a splendid display of the Northern Lights - 38°18′6.5″N 77°28′15″W. Of course you would have to live out of the towns and cities to see the beauty of the Aurora Borealis nowadays as almost everywhere is sadly blighted by light pollution.

Most of these pictures, if not all, are actually from Norway.

@AnfinnChr Thanks for the note. I have already stated that in a note from a year ago. Not all the photos are from the Faroes. Some are Norway and Sweden and the exact location of some of them is quite unknown to me . Not all the band are Faroese either but I hope this didn't spoil the music for you. :-)

When i first looked at the Faroe islands on a map, they looked like a couple of lame little rocks in the north sea...I didn't expect an entire ethnicity.

I sure that by now you will have discovered that the Faroes Islands comprise some 540 square miles of territory with a population of over 48,000 people who have an interesting history stretching back over a thousand years, their own language, a distinct identity and a lively modern society. :-)

@UISTMAN59 Sorry, as i watched the rest of the video i noticed that some of the pictures were indeed from the Faroes.
