Sunset @ Hvítserkur, Iceland

Hvítserkur, otherwise known as the Troll of Northwest Iceland, is a 15 m (49 ft) tall basalt rock stack protruding from Húnaflói Bay.
Folklore says that Hvítserkur was originally a troll from the peninsula, determined to rip the bells down from Þingeyraklaustur convent. The beast was so enraged and persistent that it did not notice the rising sun, and was instantly petrified for eternity in its rays.
