Christmas eve and all is still....

Straight from 105 Reykjavík, the creepiest Christmas decoration ever:

The snowman in  a bubble......*shudder*

 

Anyways. Just over a year ago, I made a journal entry about the 13 Icelandic Yule-Lads, strange and somewhat frightening fellows out of Icelandic folklore. This year, my Christmas card project consisted of essaying these characters in photographs. Time and laziness intervened and cut the lads down to only 8, but here they are in all their twisted glory.

From the fifth floor on the rock in the N-Atlantic, I wish you all a peaceful holiday and the grooviest of new years.

Stefán

Those 13 hoodlums are creepy. Especially the voyeur one.

That's like a Christmastime horror movie just waiting to happen.

Jeebus you guys up there are weird. Must be being stuck on the same island for 800 years...

Aye, the isolation and long winter nights give rise to some horrible folklore.
