Árnfirðingur - 8-mannafar - Men with Green Hair and Painted Faces - Olavsoka Boat Race 2010 - Torshavn, Faroe Islands

This boat passed by me and I had to take a photo of them, they looked so special and very different from all the other rowers :) Four of them have green hair and the steerman has painted his face. Here they are on their way out to the starting point. The boat is called Árnfirðingur, it comes from Árnafjørður, which is on Borðoy, near Klaksvík.
