The island in the background looms large in Swedish folklore. It is called "the Blue Maiden".
It is reputed to be the place where witches dance with the devil on certain days of the year. Its
geology is unique, and people removing the smooth stones from the island as souvenirs are
said to experience bad luck until the stones are replaced.
