Trolls!

Sweet Hubby recently showed me an article about troll sculptures which have recently been created by Danish environmental artist  Thomas Dambo and placed around the Pacific Northwest.  So a few days ago, I decided to visit one of them, the closest.  

The one I saw is named Frankie Feetsplinters.  He is both grotesque and cute, menacing and friendly.  Even though there is a rather ragged, crude look to him, there is also a fair amount of detail, such as toenails and fingernails.  I found myself smiling as I looked at him.  Even as big as he is (maybe 18' tall?), there is a goofy childlike quality about his face.

I plan to go see all the trolls at some point.  If you are interested, check out the website here: https://www.nwtrolls.org/.
