Hugin and Munin
Two Ravens , ( " Corvus corax " in Latin , " Kuzgun " in Turkish )


* Huginn and Muninn sit on Odin's shoulders in this illustration from an 18th century Icelandic manuscript
"Odhin" (1901) by Johannes Gehrts.Huginn and Muninn, sometimes anglicised Hugin and Munin, are a pair of ravens associated with the Norse god Odin.

In Norse mythology, Hugin and Munin travel the world bearing news and information they have collected to Odin. Hugin is "thought" and Munin is "memory". They are sent out at dawn to gather information and return in the evening. They perch on the god's shoulders and whisper the news into his ears. It is from these ravens that the kenning 'raven-god' for Odin is derived.

Bellissima e nitida foto in "sovrapposizione". Sembra quasi un biplano!

I really like this picture of the two ravens in flight. They love to fly and it shows in your post, it is great. I once saw two ravens flying on their back. Only once and what a sight. Thank you, great picture once again,

Merhaba Akif,
Senkronize bir uçar kompozisyon. Hikaye de çok güzel. Bu sayede İskandinav mitolojisi hakkında da bilgilendik. Teşekkürler. Emeğine sağlık.
