Where's Al?

       If someone were to ask me where I am I'd say "I'm here." But, then where's here? Perhaps it might surprise to know that I'm in DeWitt, Iowa. It's about 20 miles from Illinois. In fact we had dinner in Clinton on a deck where we could look across the Mississippi and see Illinois. 

    After dinner we went troll hunting and found 3 of 4. They're huge made of reused lumber, 1000s sf pieces attached by screws.  

  Clinton, Iowa is home to four massive, interactive wooden sculptures created by world-renowned Danish recycled-materials artist Thomas Dambo. The trolls celebrate Clinton’s rich 1800s lumber history. You can search for three brother trolls—Helmut, Marvin, and Warren—and a hidden fourth installation called 'The Enchanted Branches'.  Internet

Takk for alt,

Al 

This is Helmut, who is holding a maple tree.
This is Marvin, who is reclining inside a building. Each of the small pieces are attached with screws.
