Hestmannen

Hestmannen
"Hestmannen (the horseman) is the villain in the Legend of the Seven Sisters, and the mountain named after him does indeed resemble a cloaked rider. According to legend, while the Horseman chased the Maiden of Leka down the Helgeland coast, the first rays of the sun struck him and he turned to stone."

Thank goodness the horseman didn't catch up with the maiden. Who knows what might have occurred? ;-)

Thanks a lot, Amelia! Well, the Seven Sisters a bit further south would have been interested, but Hestmannen ignored them;-)

A lovely landscape image and interesting information. As I recall, this is near the Arctic Circle marker.

A beautiful coastal landscape Gudrun...........and an interesting bit of folk lore to go with it. I like the shape of the mountains and the earthy colours in the foreground. Lovely light too.

Thanks very much, Keith! On this stretch of coast the mountains have very interesting shapes so all sorts of legends have sprung up.
