Huginn and Muninn

..."In Norse mythology, the god Odin had two Ravens named Huginn (Old Norse "thought") and Muninn (Old Norse "mind"). Every day Odin would send them out at dawn, and the birds would fly all over the world before returning at dinner-time. They would tell Odin everything they saw and heard..."... 


... 'Huginn and Muninn'...

... B&W naturally lighted image.. stone carving on 'Mauch Chunk Sandstone' obtained locally... 18"x20"x8"x6" (around 160lbs)... design from a tattoo we we spotted on some big "Viking-looking dude"... that cloud-like image in the bottom right of the stone is a natural feature - we couldn't remove it no matter how much grinding/sanding - and it only appeared after we had carved the subject image (true - after further sanding) - regard it is a "stamp of approval" from the big man 'Odin' himself, so how cool is that!?...
