Stockholm, Sweden

So it's amazing here. I didn't really get to go out for too long, this tour really doesn't allow for much free time, but I did get to run around a little bit and snap some atmospheric pics. My favorite so far was the treeline just as we were leaving Finland. It was gorgeous. Sweden seems SO industrial to me, and yet it's blended perfectly with this natural presence. It's probably the trees, grass, and other foliage that's just growing up around these factories. And I hardly messed with the color temperature in these photos as well...I mean it's BLUE here. Of course we ARE in a place where they only get about 4 hours of sunlight a day right now...which is so crazy. Anyways, I'm starting to miss my wife in a major way. I miss little Franklin, TN. The NOEL sign is probably above Starbucks right now, and I hear it's supposed to snow there this week! So Sweden, make me happy, cause I'm getting as blue as you are.
