Múli

Múli “ruin of the bird catchers’ house”?

This place was a total trip. First of all, this was during Covid so there were no people here except me. Maybe that’s usually the case. I don’t really know. The information sign (below) is really cool–among the first settlements on the Faroe Islands, now a ghost town, and a skilled sorcerer resident to boot? Fascinating history for such an incredibly beautiful and abandoned place.

I don’t know why the sign calls the place Múla instead of Múli. Everything I read on the internet calls the town Múli.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I visited the sorcerer’s grave later in the day here.

Skinner Butte’s Big O

Skinner Butte – Eugene, Oregon

Today’s photo comes from a walk my son and I took up Skinner Butte six years ago. I don’t think you can see the big “O” from many (any?) places in downtown Eugene due to tree growth in the past few decades.

This letter is in the National Register of Historic Places. I suspect most letters that you see on mountain sides (mostly in the western USA I think) are not in the National Register of Historic Places. This one probably got in because of its history. The O was a replacement for the KKKs that the Ku Klux Klan burned onto this same spot in the 1920s.
