So.. this is the first "real" photography for my rune project :star:

---

This is my interpretation of the Hagal rune, what immediately struck me when I first planned the idea.

The Hagal rune, also called Hagalaz, represents the H sound of the elder futhark. The Norwegian and Icelandic rune poems about Hagal goes like this:

Hail is the coldest of grain
and shower of sleet
and sickness of serpents.


---

Hagal - hail, snow, sleet - does indeed resemble grain, and all of these could be fatal to our forefathers. The snow has without doubt formed the lands of Scandinavia, and it forced our ancestors into certain lifestyles. It is a feat of nature that one has to live with, side by side, and one will be wise to respect the many sides of Hagal - beautiful, mercyless, lifesaving and -taking.

Puh... A long explanation, which barely explains all my thoughts. Bear with me.

This photo was taken near my great-grandparents old house (it's not even that old, I think it's from the former century), and it has such a beautiful texture. Hope that you all like it. It does best in a smaller format...

No one would dare tell the king himself such deeds of his as all listeners and king himself knew to be lies and loose talk; that would be mockery, but not praise

Dritstilig. Har en slags "urgammel" aura ved seg, hvis du skjønner...

A Great start for the project! The doors look good being the only colorful thing in the picture.

Repentance is an act of cowardice. Remember, only terrorized repent.
