Happy Wednesday! We recently visited some Thomas Dambo troll sculptures in the Seattle area. We originally became acquainted with the trolls when we were traveling in Rhode Island, and now I think I want to keep track of how many we can visit. I love me a good list!

If you aren’t familiar with Thomas Dambo, he’s a Danish sculptor. HERE is his website. It looks like most of his work is displayed in Denmark, but quite a few are here in the states. It’ll be fun to make it a priority to go see each troll if/when I’m near their locations. I’ll try to update this post with photos as we visit more.

Here goes:
