When I was a kid my dad and I used to walk around late at night. It was always dark and he told me many stories about little people living under ground. The fog we saw up in the mountains were smoke coming from "tussene" (little people) who were brewing beer. I asked why we couldn't see them, and he told me they were really good at hiding, and sometimes invisible. He also told me that my great great great great great (you get the picture..) grand father had seen some of them a long time a go. He told me they were taking care of the farm animals, and that they were very small.
I always loved hearing these stories, and I could hear the same one over and over. But, the one story I thought was the funniest, was the one were trolls used to throw rocks at each other. The rocks were not small, and they threw them at each other from one side of the fjord to the other. I laughed so hard every time i heard it, and asked him to tell the story every time we saw one of these rocks. You can find these rocks many places where I live.
I hope you liked my post and photo. All feedback is very much appreciated!
Have a nice day!

Nice story and picture. In Philippines, Spain, Mexico, South America they are called duende. Small people that hide and are invisible, but some people can see them. They just like to tease people.
Ah cool! Yes, that sounds familiar. I love it! I'm glad you liked my post, @ebejammin, thank you! :)

Awsome pic! Followed you
Thank you so much, @drewley! :) Really appreciate it :)
Lovely post Kristin. Sounds a lot like the Celtic folklore and legends I also heard about growing up. I'd love to know more about these rocks... are they monoliths brought over from a different area? The one on your photo looks so "out of place"
That's cool! I love stories like that. I actually have no idea how the rocks got here. But I bet my dad knows. But he will most likely stick to his story about trolls... There are so many of these rocks in my area, and especially in a place called Tysnes. Yes they really are out of place!
