The Faroe Islands in autumn
September through October: weather as a co-author.
If you have to pick one season, pick this one. Storms become frequent but not constant. Daylight remains generous through September. Grass turns rust-gold by mid-October.
The puffins leave in mid-August, but every other bird stays. The light, finally, gets dramatic.
