The weather is warmer these few days and with the sunshine, the feeling is just fantastic. Stockholm carries a special taste of its own which outstands itself from the other cities in Europe where I have visited. Rivers and small islands, chilling winds, warming sunshine, night clubbing scenes, friendly people with cool faces, well, it's a nice place to visit actually.
The architecture and design of the city is quite "Swedish" too, or what they called themselves a National Romantic Style. It's romantic in a sense that it belongs to their culture. Sweden has yet been a very influential country in the world but its existence sustains its continuous developlent both economically, culturally (or even politically). They keep on speaking Swedish and they are romantic in a sense to their nation, isn't it?
They use asymmetric "harmony" on their construction and always rely on building materials originated from the country themselves. They have strong infuences from the Viking culture and they make good use of brick with colours in red, orange or muddy yellow and this appears to me as something that substantiates the warm living atmosphere on a piece of land chilled with Nortic wind.
The temperature changes, I believe, the condition of human and their way of thinking, at least to the consciousness of the nature. As I always believe, people can think and work in a more effective and sometimes more inspiring manner under a cool weather, and perhaps this is why people in Sweden are talented in their innovative idea, the character that facilitates them to change the environment for a betterment of life. You can tell from their modern design and their belief in the "Nobel" way to invent more advanced dimension for the following days.
Sharing with you some "warm" photos with sunshine I took in the city after experiencing another side of the temperature scale at night...ENjoy!
