Architectural Scenes! (Stockholm, Sweden)

Let's set the mood.  Stockholm is a remarkable blend of old and new architecture.  The result?  Its quirky and unique.  More importantly, as a tourist, you never know what is around the next corner.  Its an exciting city to explore given that the scenery can be so different.  Stockholm is made up of different islands.  The effect makes it look as though there are canals throughout the city, but that's not necessarily the right description.  Instead, the waterways are larger than canals and the islands have developed a completely different style depending on when they were settled.  Our first stop was the island of Gamla Stan.  This is the historic, old city island.  Everything you would want and expect from such a historic city.  HEre are a few pictures from around the island!
