The town of the troll houses...
The town of the troll houses
It is a commonly held belief among young children that all the toys Santa delivers
at Christmas are made by Elves. It is a less well known fact that certain Swedish
automobiles are made by Trolls.
This is the town of Trollhatten (lit. houses of the Trolls), about 60 kilometers
from Gothenburg. Home to the SAAB automobile design centre.

A winter wonderland.

Legend has it he area around the town is prowled by Trolls, ferocious man-eating
monsters with long claws and fangs. This is a possible sighting of one.

The area is plentiful in waterways.

Everybody in the town drives a SAAB, which has led to a drop in the use of rail transport.

But there is the occasional visitor from outside.

The local Hydro electric power station.
When you stand near this you can feel
the ground trembling.

The site where I took the above shot.
A perfect place to contemplate suicide.

The locks in the vicinity date back over 150 years,
and have obviously
been rebuilt.

The flight back to Japan took me through London. Tower Bridge is visible right of centre.
