The Fremont Troll - HDR

[terratrekking]

Seattle is quite a unique place. There are so many different neighborhoods, all with their own unique vibe. The Fremont Neighborhood is quite interesting. It has kind of a fun atmosphere and there is not a chain store to be found. There is a lot of public art in this neighborhood, each with its own unique story and of which the Fremont Troll has to be the most incredible. Built in 1990, using 2 tons of concrete, he lurks under the Aurora Bridge. He is 18ft tall and in the process of consuming a real VW beetle.

Oh my, how wierd is that? Surely that isnt a real vw beetle is it.

I love seeing the sights from around the world & this ranks right up there.

Perfectly presented, thank you for sharing.
