Huskvarna, Sweden

My beautiful view from my balcony in Huskvarna, Sweden, on September 9th, 2010.
The big lake you see is called Vättern.

Vättern is the second largest lake (by surface area) in Sweden, and the sixth largest lake in Europe.

One of the etymologies for name Vättern is from vatten, the Swedish word for water. This origin is, however, unclear and in dispute. It has also been suggested that the archaic term vätter, meaning forest or lake spirits, is the origin of the lake's name.

In this little town and around the lake, is many non-physical beings, I have experienced, the presence of dragons, unicorns, angels, fairies, and there have also been a lot of UFOs in and around the lake.
