Thanks for the report

Come here now and the sun sets at 6 pm. And yes the female part of the population have not gone to hibernating yet

It was impressively clean, the most attractive population I've encountered BY FAR, the people were VERY nice (to an american that means alot, although it did take me 20 minutes to try to figure out that Ham is 'Skinka' before I just asked somebody who then walked around the store with me for 30 minutes helping me shop!), the VASA, the 'Old City' and is was GORGEOUS!

The two things that put me off about Sweden in general though:

1) The sun set at 11 (ok cool) but came up at 3am
2) I'm all for trying new stuff but NEVER in my life will I ever try pickled Herring again! One of my friends from Sweden got it as part of the resturaunt festival they were having downtown and since I'm a nice guy and willing to try new things I made that mistake...I'm not sure which was worse the Curry, Onion or who the heck knows that the last one was...

I work for Skanska here in the US so hopefully I'll get back there more!

Gustav how was NC the other day? I was trying to get down there but my car has been in the shop for literally two weeks now. A nice concrete "boulder" was thrown into my car, $3k damages, sweet. Was suppossed to have it Friday, then Monday, then Tues...

Here are a few "recognizable" things form my trip:









...and I still don't get this?


I have a bunch more, this are just the ones I already have uploaded...

Heh, it is wierd that you cannot track them and most of the cars at the ring are those. And going well

I was using a Canon EOS 20D with either the 17-40 or 70-200 lens.

If you right click on the pics and save them - you can then right click
on them and choose properties >> advanced. There you will find all
the info on shutter, aperture, etc.
