In law Vagar westernmost end of island of Luo, on the other side of the mountain, there is a small village, this village that is called Gasadalur is enclosed with hills on three sides, one side bordering on the sea is a precipitous cliff, it is the place where a piece of scenery is unique, it was once only one of the Faeroe Islands there is not a village that linked with highway.
Villagers and the external world got in touch to need through the helicopter in the past, or walked for nearly four hours and crossed the high mountain, because of it borders on the sea to be mostly cliff, sea flow worried deeply, unable to set up port, want villager to attack fish stay Bour port in over the mountain one's own ship only too, go to sea each time, it could reach the port that berth the fishing boat to cross the high mountain first. And the passing ship can only stop temporarily, brings the goods that they need to village, in 1949, local villagers built up a passway with hundreds of steps in the minimum place of sea precipice, load onto the cable car, can transport heavier goods.
Though here is picturesque, the population of the village is still reducing slowly, after young people finish the study outside, usually choose the life outside, it is unwilling to get back to this close place again, statistics in 2002, only there are 16 fixed residents left in this village isolated, a lot of houses have become the empty room.
The Luo 's of France, for not making this village go out of cultivation, for not making Gasadalur become the depopulated zone, began to build the tunnel in 2004, made an opening through the mountain between Bour and Gasadalur, built a 1.7 kilometers -long tunnel, hope here pieces of place that someone inhabit, can bonded to external world through the highway. Once a lot of persons objected to it too in initial stage of building, this project of costing 3 million euro, only for 16 residents there, but the project of the tunnel has still gone into operation, it is estimated to open in 2005, when we reach Vagar in summer of 2006, obviously have no openning of marking the tunnel of any official materials, has consulted the Luo 's of the law, their statement is, is not opened formally, but many vehicles pass that tunnel.
By first day on Vagar island, we sailed for Gasadalur directly, hoped to pass through the tunnel, had Gasadalur behind tunnels to have a look still as before. In front of tunnel mouth, we meet law postal automobile Luo by chance, the postman driving is obviously very glad, say, they finished delivering history of the letter on foot at last, in the law to us, the postal automobile can reach every corner, does not need to turn over the too high mountain in 4 hours as before again, return in 4 hours. . . One letter only sometimes, have letter want, look through mountain go too sometimes, resident to see there have letter send, no matter sleet or storm, throughout the year so, presumably, the postmans here should have stalwart physique in the past, could be competent at this job, the person who then drives has a vigorous and graceful size, look and move for a long time, it is relevant to climb, will be with the openning of the tunnel after that, negligent of sports and become a fat person. . .
With happy postman, we drive into tunnel is pitch-dark, only the car light is sending out the dim light nearby, move ahead while feeling that seems it is a stomach in the big whale. The tunnel mouth of Gasadalur this side, built in the hill-side, that rolled from the entrance to a cave away from is in the twinkling of an eye, like entering one wonderful fairy tale world suddenly, there are strong contrast results with the darkness in the tunnel, in the arms of the green chain of mountains around of house of different colors, just like the children's toy, one side facing sea, Mykines island at a distance is indistinct, drive slowly along the way bending, can see the white smoke rising from in a lot of chimneys of house, roof that green grass covered. Reach the gateway of the village, there are parking areas that has been just built up, the construction material around, the apparatus has not been withdrawn yet, a bit disorderly, really incongruous with the environment around.
Have courtyard of household nearby, long chair by the wall a platoon holds three old men, see vehicle come to drive with a strong interest obviously, see we walk close to, just smell of some smiles, taking curious expression, perhaps they are not used to having the stranger's arrival, perhaps it is my Asian face and big moustache of the old horse, always bring a lot of curious sight in some local associations like ours. I try, talk with them, but people no can speak English, answer I of them one understand either. Come into this village with several side roads, very quiet, some house doors and windows are closed, one hundred leaf fans on the window drop too, this is the unmanned house, the house which someone inhabited, can recognize out at one glance, usually exquisite white yarn curtain is hung behind each window, various small and exquisite plant flowers and plants and ornaments are put on the windowsill. Have black dog saunter only, seem bored stiff, hope, catch, fly over butterfly before one's eyes accidentally at street, see the frog beating in grass, the butterfly giving up fluttering, chases it to the grass.
Move towards the highland after the village, come by very high precipice, lie in the sea sideways on Mykines island opposite, feel the distance is not remote, even can see the beacon on the bank correctly. Along stroll by cliff at highland, have, form a cluster water column carry, fall sea direct from precipice, though has not flown and flowed and left 1,000 meters directly, imposing manner that as if the Silver River were falling from Heaven, also fly high up in the airly and fall, throw the scene that the pearl spatters the jade.
High, we have been met Johnson, he is using the cellular telephone, because the high mountain stops the electric wave that comes from Bour in the village, he has to come to the highland of the seashore to accept from the maritime signal. Johnson born, on Gasadalur, behind study of finishing, Torshavn of capital, stay there work, he mother still live a life here alone only, come back home to visit mother each time, it is a troublesome thing to Johnson, cross over mountain after mountain, there is children's Johnson, hope to take the whole family and frequently see each other, but for children, it is not a relaxed thing to turn over the too high mountains, if all rent the helicopter each time, the great amount of expenses are an unbearable thing too for Johnson. He has advised mothers to bring and live with him together, but her mother is not willing to to give up the place that oneself cross all one's life, though there is a great deal of inconvenience in life. With the increasing of age, mother of Johnson begins to consider moving the question too, just at this moment, the tunnel has been built. Johnson drives today, brings wife and children to visit mother, Johnson that the whole face is excited tells us that he has already planned to buy an idle house here, hope, can in order to come, live for a short period of time, hope, retire life here later on too vacation.
The reason of Johnson is very simple, there are cars, there is not difference between here and other places, it is even better, because here is quiet, the scenery here is unique, there are few people. But I am thinking, whether Gasadalur behind there are tunnels will be turned into a treasured place together in great demand, everybody hopes to build the room, and the scenery beautiful, convenient traffic condition here, will bring a lot of visitors, the hotel, the restaurant will arise at the historic moment too, the radiowave will stay and live in here too, Johnson needn't ascend a height and use the cellular telephone again. Very remote, perhaps the quiet characteristic will disappear forever.
Get back to the village again, in front of a house of the gateway of the village, Mr. Vagnur is making up the courtyard, living Vagnur Mr. in here have the best in the whole position of village house one life, face the sea, it is said he is the first lineal later periods reaching Gasadalur and beginning Ms. Gasa lived in here, it is early in the 12th century, Gasa lady was once a rich woman who lives in Kirkjubo, she have law heavy island half land of Streymoy most Luo once, abstain from meat,wine,etc. solar eclipse with carnivorous forcing, donating give church all property, and moved to go to Vagar island to inhabit from then on, here was named as Gasadalur because of her.
