    7-year-old Bjarki preparing himself mentally to meet the 7°C (45°F) warm ocean, here in the Faroe Islands. This at the G! Festival, yesterday July 21, 2013. The incoming mist wasn’t really helping, but made a nice shot. Me and Bartal and the boys are btw seen here in the official G! photo album, at the great bossa nova themed Faroese evergreens sing-a-long gathering.
