This video presentation called "Where Nature Rules" is made by Elin Brimheim Heinesen in 2008. It contains photos from the Faroe Islands - probably the most curious place left on earth according to New York Times - and, according to National Geographic Traveler, the most attractive island destination in the world out of 111 island communities. On March 12th, 2009, the video won a prestigious Golden City Gate Third Prize at ITB in Berlin - the biggest tourist fair in the world.

The music in the presentation is Faroese, composed and sung by Elin Brimheim Heinesen (http://www.heinesen.fo). The song is called "Eitt dýpi av dýrari tíð" (A Chasm of Precious Time) and was orchestrated by Danish composer Søren Hyldgaard for symphony orchestra and recorded with The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague in 2001.

The lyrics are written by the Faroese author Jens Pauli Heinesen, Elin's father in 1953, when he was only 21 years old - and unhappily in love.

OBS! For those who are enraged by Pilot Whaling in the Faroe Islands, please note: Nothing will be achieved with aggressive remarks targeting all Faroese. You may feel some satisfaction in venting your anger, but, in fact, you're just damaging your own cause if you choose to throw insults at other people. You will not make them change their ways that way. Only by engaging in respectful dialogue you might have a chance of making an impact. But first you have to educate yourself about the facts on Pilot Whaling in the Faroes. If you are interested in that, please go to: http://www.whaling.fo
