    Nice job on the photos!

    IMHO I am finding Stockholm less appealing (to me) than the other cities you visited during your trip.

    The impression I am getting is claustrophobic, almost, with the buildings seeming more industrial-looking in design, narrow streets boxed in by tall buildings, and less greenspace.

    Probably after seeing the St. Petersburg photos, any other city would look quite spartan in comparison.

    Just not getting the "WOW impact".. sorry, Stockholm, you just don't do it for me!
