Texture. I don’t find myself to often wanting to photograph a pure natural landscape, there almost always is some element of man in them. I could have in this case but I liked all the textures and neutral tones so much I didn’t want to add it in.  I do like though that you wouldn’t guess that there is a huge apartment complex right where I’m standing taking the photo and the city is right over on the other side of the hill. It’s repetitive but I love how much nature is in and around Stockholm.

Homes. I really liked walking through the streets outside the main part of Stockholm that is full of large apartment buildings and looking at all the different homes and wondering what they must look like inside and how the people who lived there lived in them. I really liked the homes I saw in Sweden. They were always nice and simple.

Public Spaces. No matter the weather everyone makes really great use of all the public spaces. Not to mention the summer when everyone is out picnicking or laying out enjoying the sun. I was surprised at just how many nice big parks there were in Stockholm.

I Kvällen. Winter nights in Stockholm were great. It wasn’t as dark as I had expected it to be. There are so many lights put out during the winter time it really makes for an amazing warm feeling and not a dark depressing one. I wasn’t working a 9-5 job while I was there so I got to see the sun in the mornings and afternoons. I can imagine that it would be rough to go to work in the dark and leave in the dark and not get to see much sun. That wouldn’t be so much fun. But I still really loved it there in the winter. Snow in the city was magic.

Cave Dwellings. For the most part each subway station in Stockholm is different from one another. They varied in color, decoration, layout, or construction. A majority of them tended to be a normal tile covered station but my favorite were the caves. Some stations were really deep under the city and were awesome caves. All the cave stations were also all painted differently. I really dug this camo station.
