Where we live is centre of our world."Far out in the radiant ocean glinting like quicksilver..lies a solitary little lead-coloured land ..tiny rocky shore to the vast ocean..as a grain of sand on a dancefloor in a hall..but through a magnifying glass,this grain is a whole world."

Thank you to Jákup Sørensen NORA for sharing this with us. And the photo shows Faroese chain dancing in Tórshavn, dancing to voices not instruments
