22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Drone/Aerial
Fjord town

A drone photo of Klaksvík captures the town nestled between mountains under a moody, low-cloud atmosphere. The dense clouds hang over the peaks, casting soft shadows on the fjord and the winding roads below. The dark, brooding sky contrasts with the calm waters surrounding the town, enhancing the sense of isolation and tranquility. This elevated perspective highlights Klaksvík’s striking location amidst the dramatic Faroese landscape, creating an atmospheric and almost surreal scene.
