19-Foot-High Troll
Portland, Oregon
Yet another immense troll -- this one 19 feet high -- built by Danish artist Thomas Dambo (and a crew of local volunteers) out of recycled wood scraps. Named Ole Bolle, the artwork was completed in the summer of 2023. He kneels and lifts the roof off of a small house, supposedly looking for something to eat.
Ole Bolle's official press release states that he's looking for a cookie jar, but a handful of tiny cookies would hardly satisfy a giant-size hunger. Besides, everyone knows what trolls really eat.
We suggest that visitors stand inside the house and pose, looking up in terror, at the prospect of becoming a snack.
