In the Faroe Islands it rains an average of 300 days a year. We lucked out during our trip.

Turf roofs provide good protection from the rain as well as thermal insulation. This is the village of Saksun, population 8. Or maybe 14, depending on the source. The church is circa 1850 while the stone buildings are from the 17th century, or so I'm told.

I think there are some nice compositional aspects to the picture with the curved dirt road leading the eye to the church and then past that back to what used to be a natural harbor before it was filled with sand by a storm.
