Trollholmsund is located on the west side of Porsangerfjord, 35 km north of Lakselv. The area is dominated by dolomite (limestone) rocks and stones. Trollholmsund has an exciting combination of cultural- and geological history.
According to an old Sami legend walked trolls across the plateau with a huge box full of gold and silver. As they approached the bay, they tried to hide the box, but found no cave that was big enough. They continued, but the sun rose before they were hiding, and everyone was turned into stone.

bei unserer Rückfahrt nach Reykjavík kamen wir zufällig an diesem Troll vorbei
Hvitserkur
Iceland
This is another image from our 2010 trip which was by far our longest and most memorable trip we have done (3 months on the road). The light didn't blaze at Hvitserkur but the subtleties probably resulted in more interesting shots to complement the dark rock 'troll'.
We are looking forward to a return to Iceland this winter and perhaps we'll see if we can access this location :)
Dec. 27, 2025: Portrait of "Lulu Hyggelig," the Thomas Dambo troll at the California Nature Art Museum in Solvang, California.
Taken during an afternoon walk in Yosemite Valley.
I found no trolls, though at about the time I snapped this one, a snake jumped into the water and swam away from my boots and toward the bridge. Don't know what kind of snake it was but it was a few feet long.
The troll-land ...this's my latest creation guys. I think that the title suits the picture perfectly... after creating this image I just could not get that title out of my head ;-) so decided to stick to it... I hope you will like...

6th build in my Iron Builder round against LittleJohn, using the Toy Winder Key part in dark orange.
Trollstigen (Trolls' Path) is a serpentine mountain road in Rauma, Møre og Romsdal, Norway. It is part of Norwegian National Road 63 that connects the town of Åndalsnes in Rauma and the village of Valldal in Norddal. It is a popular tourist attraction due to its steep incline of 9% and eleven hairpin bends up a steep mountainside. During the top tourist season, about 2,500 vehicles pass daily.
The picture is taken on 2.of October 2013, and the autumn color is starting to take over. The road will close for the season in a month or two, depending on the weather...
My entry for Round 2 of The Tourney.
My category was: Possibly one of the strangest and most dangerous semi-sentient creatures in the lands, fire trolls are known to live deep underground near lava reservoirs; their unnaturally heat-resistant skin allows them to survive the high temperatures found there. Another strange feature is their ability to breath fire; this is thanks to a liquid they spray from glands in their mouths. This liquid is incredibly valuable as it is used to make Enalican Fire. Your character’s job is to hunt down one of these trolls and harvest the liquid. While an underground scene is encouraged, it is not required.
My guild is the Archdukes of Chaa-Buk-Buk, and my opponent is LegoFin. Good Luck!
As you may be able to see, I did not have time for a scene. I did, however, have time for a quite massive troll (by my standards, at least). My main focus was on articulation: I included joints at the ankles, knees, hips, waist, neck, elbow, and two joints per finger. The shoulders have two different joints to allow for three directions of rotation. As such, this figure is very pose-able. Most of my time was spent on the head, which took me three hours to get right.
My apologies for the bad pictures. They were taken at the last minute to make the deadline. I may be retaking them next weekend.
More pictures:
Well , at least they're pretending to listen . I told them I wanted to get the studio cleaned up some so I could take some pictures . So people would know what the studio looked like . They keep wanting to make toys and I have to explain that's elves that do that .
This was taken above Serenity Falls in Buderim from under a small walkway bridge. I got up at 4am, did all the normal things thinking it was ok outside, opened the Garage door only to find it raining lightly, so went back to bed, woke up at 6am noticed the sun was just starting to show its face. So thought I would try again, was able to get about an hour in the forest before it started raining again :-)

Something different from other kind of photos that l take This Doll was given to me as a present in the early seventes...
Troll dolls were originally created in 1959 by Danish fisherman and woodcutter Thomas Dam. Dam could not afford a Christmas gift for his young daughter Lila and carved the doll from his imagination. ... They became one of the United States' biggest toy fads from the autumn of 1963 to 1965.

History of the trolls
Far to the North, where the winter storms from the Arctic Ocean lash the unsheltered coasts, lies a long and narrow country. In our time the country is covered with snow and ice only during the winter, but long, long ago a heavy, thousand year old glacier towered over the country. As the climate slowly changed and the glacier receded northwards, people who lived south of the glacier followed it. They took the country for their own and called it Norway. The people were called Norwegians. They saw that the country was very beautiful and thought that they were the first inhabitants, but it was not long before they discovered that the country was already occupied by a lot of strange creatures who lived in the most peculiar places.
In the mountains, of which there were many, lived the trolls. The chief of them all was Dovregubben. Some of the trolls were extremely large, while others could be really small, and they were all very old. They were only to be seen at night, or at dusk, because such creatures of course did not tolerate the light of day. If they did not get into the mountains before the sun shone they cracked or turned to stone. The trolls were like people, but had only four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot. Otherwise they all had long noses (troll wives often used their noses to stir the cooking pot when they made soup or porridge), they were shaggy and rough-haired, and every one of them had a tail which resembled a cow's rump.
Even though they were frightening, they were often good-natured and gullible, and sometimes smart farm boys could fool them. Among their many supernatural abilities was that they could re-shape themselves. Sometimes the troll girls became unbelievably beautiful young women. They were called wood nymphs, and they lured many a hunter and unsuspecting farmer's son with them into the mountains. Therefore it was better to try and see them from behind, because they could not hide the cow's rump. Sometimes, too, the trolls spellbound and took beautiful alpine farm girls and dairymaids into the mountains, and not many of them got out again.
The troll children, of course, got up to the most unbelievable tricks, and the troll husbands could get extremely angry. It was therefore best to keep in with the trolls and the subterranean people. One tried to avoid irritating them, because they could wreak revenge by bringing disease and death to the livestock. On the other hand, if one had a good relationship with them, the livestock could yield much milk and get fat and sleek. That was why a well-filled bowl of porridge was put into the barn for them every Christmas Eve, and the porridge was always eaten up.
Then, as now, some people say they can glimpse the trolls when walking in the forest and fields, so it is prudent to be extra careful when one walks in nature, especially when it starts to get dark. You never know what is out there or what you may meet. Remember that the trolls can see you!
