Description Photo os taken on the small island between sweden and estonia. Estonians call it Osmussaar and swedish call is Odinsholm.
Odin, the god of Vikings was burried here. But when soviet army came here, they destroyed the grave.

The ship is real. I dont know, where from it came there. There is no quay on the island (and had never been), big ships never sail near there.

Of course, because the was so evil satanistical demon-like monsters who... *sarcasm*.
We even didn' found any legendary grave
It was a soviet defendng position atacked by germans. Land batteries and airfields was here, not god,s graves. It is just one more cold war legends of ommie demons from russia who destroys all around them, you are welcome. I even heard a legend that all soviets were mindless communist zombies and has a tails and horns under their helmets and hats

The looks almost like an old painting! Great set of details and lovely work with the colour tones. It seems such an eerie place

No, no body lives there.
Modern people cant live on the island, that is only of 3 squake km. size.
there are some buildings left by soviet military. But it is very hard to build anything there, because whole island consists of rocks. Soil is not more than a few santimeters deep.

By a small fishing boat. We've ordered a boat from the Dirhami harbour.
