Nyksund in Vesterålen
From Wikipedia: "...People have been living in Nyksund since before recorded history. Until the late 18th century, the population was scarce, but with the rise of commercial trade, Nyksund became an important centre for hundreds of fishermen coming to exploit the rich cod fisheries nearby. As bigger vessels and road transportation rendered the port obsolete due to its shallow waters and poor road, Nyksund became an isolated outpost with a dwindling population. Finally, measures were made to shut the place down. During the 1970s, the city became a ghost town. ..."
The fairy tale of Nyksund's revival started in the mid 1980's, when German social pedagogues launched an international youth project in Nyksund, in corporation with Berlin University. Students, many of them German, came for summer courses, and to work on restoring buildings in the -80's and -90's. By time artists and creative souls have found the place to be an inspiring refuge - 20 people now (summer 2018) live here permanently.

BIG YAWN
Looking at this rock on top of Nyksund island, it becomes clear that trolls are real – the beast has clearly been asleep for a while – or is it a Hipppopotamus? The chilling wind seems to do our stony friend well.
