norwegian present search

Troll Calendars... Who knows what? I was in Honningsvaag, Norway about a month ago and saw a lovely, but very overpriced wall calendar featuring semi-photo-realisitc (think dinotopia) pictures of trolls frolicking and sneaking about Norway. I realized just recently that this would be a perfect present for a friend, but I didn't take a name, picture, or anything. Google and Amazon fu aren't helping me, but I don't sepak Norwegian.

Were they trolls or gnomes?

Trolls. Norwegians love trolls.

Here is one from 2003, perhaps that shop has a newer version available..

dilettante - definitely not it, though thanks for searching

billtron - definitely trolls. big trolls. one was actually godzilla-big and wandering around in one of Norway's massive fjords, if I recall correctly. But definitely big, ugle, hat-less trolls.

davey_darling - pretty close to the pin, though the calendar I saw was a bit more one the realistic side (and most of it was nighttime.) If they have a modern version, this may have to do.
