I was happy when I found these postcards (photography by Lennart Arvidsson) showing the well-known (?) Torsåstuppen.
Torsåstuppen is a very common sight here in Mörtfors where I live. If you take a walk around the village, at least one wooden rooster will stare back at you from every window. Sometimes I even dream of them at night. And I wake up all sweaty... One wooden rooster is nothing to be afraid of, but a gang of 100 certainly is a bit scary.
