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.

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.
