in honour of a slain viking supposedly found in my ancient dna analysis - on mytrueancestry.com
- not unusual in Scotland and Ireland to find Norse connections.
This group of Danish Vikings died in Britain in what is called St. Brice's Day Massacre

Trolling for hens. From late April of this year during mating season.
this is going to be part of a theme for a new exhibit
Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river
she is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
and the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbour
and she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
and you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there
she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China Leonard Cohen

Cu Chulainn's lament
treat yourself: the great Davy Spillane on the Uilleann pipes
The name is Mór-Ríoghain in Modern Irish. It has been translated as "great queen", "phantom queen" or "mare queen". The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death or victory in battle. She often took the form of a raven during battle.
It is said she alighted on the shoulder of the great warrior Cuchulainn on the battlefield signifying his death. She had also previously appeared to him as an old woman washing clothes on the banks of the river. He knew that this was a portent of his approaching fate.
You should of know Norway is a land of trolls. And we've seen some. They were sleeping.
I was surprised the storm is a time for photography too. Mists and deep colors transform the view picturesque way.
The shot was taken in a small trip around Lofoten while we could not go fishing.
Thank you for all your comments and favs.

Such a delight to see this gem from long ago, this was my first trip to the Denfield Rd. overpass west of London, Ontario. We affectionately called it "trolls bridge" named after the unruly homeowner on the south side of the bridge who thought it was his private bridge and hated photographers. Here we find a Canadian Pacific candy faced GP30 5000 leading a pair of GP35's with the first section of a train westbound back on June 21, 1975.
Bright sunshine and a plethora of tourists made shooting tricky so I elected for my Super Stopper and guestimated, resulting in a 188 second exposure of the sea stacks at Vik (Iceland) also known as the Trolls.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.

Appreciated each and every one! Thank you!!!!
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then dad
You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then dad
You know we'll have a good time then
