Where on earth do you live, I think it must be the most beautiful spot on earth. We have an Island on the eastcoast called Öland, which would in fact be translated; Islandland...if you wanted. It reminds me a bit of what I can see in your backyard and the neighbourhood. I love Öland, I think I would love your island as well.
