A Random Smattering

What follows is pretty much the entirety of my non-Vasa Sweden photos... yes, I know, a bit pathetic, especially considering that these were all taken within 48 hours of my arrival. Whatever. This is what you get.



The first thing one notices when stepping off the plane is that everything in Sweden (well, more specifically, everything in the Arlanda airport) is beautiful. I hadn't yet quite recovered from snapping a million-and-one impromptu pics of Manhattan, so I felt compelled to take more, even here in airport hotel. Pretty, no? This country was made just for me.



But it gets better! Here's another hotel lobby. I failed (failed!) to take any photos of the staircase in this hotel: a shame. 


A boat. Probably my favorite photograph.


Another boat, streetsign adjacent.


Look at the pretty flower... believe it or not, I took about thirty photos of this damn flower in my attempt to capture the detail of the petals. If you can't appreciate the photo, at least appreciate my time (and slavish dedication). 


This is a structure, and it's made of bricks. I do not know what possessed anyone to create it, although I'm rather glad they did.


A window. I know.



Sweden's motto: Cover your bases! I assume these are photos of famous Swedes, maybe even famous Stockholmians (Stockholmites?). Whether you're coming or going, they're here for you.
