Havbrandia is a narrow town wedged between a fast, silver river and a high pinewood, its wooden houses tiered along a quay and a single stone pier; sawmills hum at dawn and fish stalls steam at dusk as fishermen, loggers and farmers trade in the open market beneath banners stitched with a twin-axe and wave motif.
Where pine smoke and river spray braid the air.
