Some of us (most of us?) have been away for vacation during summer, right? And so I though it would be nice to see where everyone's been at.
I've just got home from a vacation in Stockholm's archipelago. It's becuase of that Stockholm has been named as one of the most beautiful cities in the world (believe it or not

). And, well... I can't complain about it. The weather was fantastic all the time and I really enjoyed it.

On the boat.

GrÃ¶na Lund, I think you can guess what it is

My not-really-real brother and our dog.

(no comment

)

The cute little store and cafÃ©

Going for a swim...

Going for a swim again...

Sandhamn, where the celebrities hang out

(though I wasn't able to catch Martin anywhere, lol)

Okay now it's your turn to post your vacation pics, or I'll feel like an idiot for starting this thread...

Oh that's so cool to see your vacation pics, Meandi!

And Stockholm! I've always had a fondness for Stockholm ever since I vidded Muse's "Stockholm Syndrome!"

I don't have any plans for a vacation this year, unfortunately...

I guess I could take a pic of myself sitting here at my computer!

Awesome pics!

Aw, thanks

I really made an effort this time to get good pics, not blurry ones like last year.
And yeh, I'll be sitting here at my computer for the rest of my vacation, which ends Aug 21st... but I think I will post some pics from when BWO is coming to my town, yay

I love your "Stockholm Syndrome", it's absolutely one of my fave LVI vids. You got me into Muse through that vid, btw

I wish you all would go to Stockholm sometime in your life, because it really is a special place in the summer. I have a lot more pics of Sthlm I can post here later.

Hey Becca, have a great time! See ya when you get home

Okay, here's some pics of Stockholm.

The cruiser Cinderella, on it's way to Finland. Lordi has been on this boat

The very old Royal Castle (Kungliga Slottet). The flag says that the king is inside the castle.

The royal theatre. Nice building.

I have no idea who these people are, I was just sitting in the car and the view was kinda cool.

Stockholm sightseeing

you see a bit of the City Hall, it's been viewed in Alias, btw.

The Grand Hotel, where celebs like U2, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears etc. have hung out through the years, mostly in the suite on the top.

Ugly bridge but nice view behind it.

GrÃ¶na Lund again, with Stockholm behind it.

South side of Stockholm...

Inner city.

Awesome pics, Meandi! So that's Stockholm!

Have fun on your trip, Becca! Can't wait to see your pics! (If you meant you had a still pic camera as opposed to a video one... if not, well then I can't wait to see your movies!

)

Yeah Becca, have a great time in Florida, hope the weather isn't toooo hot like over here... I'm kinda melting away right now, but then again I'm just one of those I-wanna-have-winter-all-year-long Swedes

yup, you climb slowly up the tube and a count down is going down from 10, then a computer says malfunction, then from 5 it counts down super fast and shoots you out!
