The "Rauks" are natural stone monoliths, on the same Swedish beach (in Fårö island) as Ingmar Bergman's 1961 film Through a Glass Darkly, again on the subject of mental illness (not strictly necessary to understand Syd).

Vik Beach in Iceland, one of the most beautiful beaches on earth, has black "totems" (called "Troll Rocks" or "Trolls") and black volcanic sand too, both darker than ebony.
