Der Hvítserkur ist ein Basaltfelsen an der Ostküste der Halbinsel Vatnsnes im Nordwesten von Island.
Der etwa 15 m hohe Felsen, der an zwei Stellen ausgehöhlt ist, liegt am Húnafjörður und ist Nistplatz verschiedener Vogelarten, wie etwa der Dreizehenmöwen und des Eissturmvogels.
Einer isländischen Sage nach soll es sich bei dem Felsen um einen Troll handeln, der von der Sonne versteinert wurde, als er das Kloster Þingeyrar mit Steinen bewarf.
Hvítserkur is a 15 meters high cliff and protrudes out of the sea. The sea erosion has carved holes through its foundations and sculptured it in the unique shape it is today.
Legend has it that this is a troll turned into stone when he was surprised by the sun while attacking a nearby abbey with rocks.

Battle was over. Dead bodies lied around the barrack at the outskirt of Dalmanutha. Some loreesi guards, a few green skinned orcs but mostly lenfel knights. A whole army of proud young men. They were a glorious invading army a few hours before, swarmed the barrack in the faith of confident victory. But suddenly a band of ferociuos orcs appeared from the buildings and they changed the outcome of the battle.
Burlogh O'Rohal wiped the blood from his face and walked to the dying Sir Edvyn. - You fought well, old man. You defended the holding of Lord Mencot. Now go and meet your ancestors! The warchief saluted as life went out of the knight's body. Come on, lads, bury our fallen comrades then have a drink for their souls!
Two days later
Lord Mencot checked the list of casualties then left out a loud sigh. - Warchief Burlogh, I need to thank for your intervention. Without you I would have lost not only all my brave soldiers but my barrack and my supplies. Please, name the price of your help.
A wide smile spread across the troll's face. - Do't worry, human, you can keep your money. I only need a small favour. Grant me acces to the Great Library of Dalmanutha...

And that is the true story how Bleeding Claws get the newest plans of the greatest military engineers in Roawia.

Trolling for meteors from Timberline Lodge parking lot. Ski area lights are visible on the glacier. Occasional car headlights lightened the lower right corner. A cloud bank is moving in from the east on the right side of the frame.

Trolls dwelled in deep forests once, mending old roads and bridges, taking tolls from travelers. But less and less people appreciated their work and so they left. Those few who stayed are still waiting there for people to become aware of their humble services again, but it has been a long wait. They have turned to stones and stumps and their roads and bridges are long gone.
Taken on the only wet morning I had on my recent holiday in The Lake District, Cumbria, UK. A bit of rain won't stop me getting out and about taking photos
This is one of the things we are famous to have in Norway.
We have trolls under our bridges
We have trolls in our forest
We have trolls in our souvenir shops
We have trolls in our streets
We have trolls in our fairytales
They can have several heads
They can be huge
They can be tiny
They can be cheerful
They can be really pis.... off
We have all our good luck charm trolls in our homes, almost everybody has that.

After the spider here is my second creature from the Wizarding World - a mountain troll
Building this sand blue beast was quite a challenge and I feel like he looks even more silly than in the movie.
And you may ask "what's that piece used for the legs?"

I recently got reacquainted with the Fremont Troll. I know I have seen this troll before but not since I first picked up a camera, despite countless trips to and through Seattle. But on a recent drive back from the North Cascades inspiration struck to stop by and pay the troll a visit. The days right before Halloween seemed as good a time of year as any to do so. As I imagine is usual, the troll had a bit of a crowd gathered around but one of the nice things about pinhole photography is the exposure lengths generally stretch long enough that if they don't wipe people out completely (being the transient beings we are) then they blur them into something I find interesting. In this case the two minute exposure did the former, making it seem like I had the troll all to myself, which I certainly did not.

Kodak Ektar 100 - but I was not too enamored of the color in this scene so monochrome it went.
A few friends for a few drinks. A few pics for a lot of tremendous instants.
A night of high reflection.

The Troll Wall in Romsdalen, Norway – the tallest vertical rock face in Northern Europe. Rising nearly 1,800 meters above sea level, with about 1,000 meters of sheer cliff, it is an iconic landmark for climbers and nature lovers, and an awe-inspiring sight in every season.
Looking at the size of these tracks, it was a pretty big troll on cross country ski's! Luckily I was not there at the same time!
:-D
Savernake Forest, Wiltshire
In my wanderings around Savernake Forest last weekend I was just looking to left & right as I wandered along one of the paths and I came across this fellow! Maybe it's just me but I saw a Troll like face growing on the tree. I could not resist trying to photograph him.
Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend.😊

petit retour sur la Norvège? tout le séjour ici : vins64voyages.wordpress.com/
La Trollstigen (littéralement « échelle du Troll » en norvégien) est une route de montagne.C'est une route très touristique et populaire en raison de son fort dénivelé, soit 9 %, et de ses onze virages en épingle à cheveux sur un versant très raide de montagne. Trollstigen a été ouvert le 31 juillet 1936 après huit années de construction.
La route est très étroite avec beaucoup de courbes serrées et bien qu'elle ait été élargie ces dernières années, les véhicules de plus de 12,4 mètres de long y sont interdits à la circulation. À l'aboutissement de la route se trouve une aire de stationnement qui permet aux visiteurs de laisser leur voiture et d'accéder à un point de vue qui domine la route avec ses courbes et la chute d'eau de Stigfossen, haute de 320 m. Trollstigen est fermée pendant l'automne et les mois d'hiver.

There was a troll happening for children today at the Stable Yards area. I went to see what's going on, and met some trolls. They were quite shy, but playfull. I asked her to pose for me, but she was wondering what a camera is, and she just wanted to play with her tail instead of looking at the camera. So it goes, I bet it was weird to be amongst humans.
