Pictures from last week; they're fairly big, and only half-decent. (Don't say I didn't warn you.. ;)

Day two )

I looooooove your pictures. My favorite is um... 005. Yes, I'm a dork and checked the name. XD I love it, though, it looks really peaceful and very professional.

You're right, Sweden DOES look like England in that picture. :D Is the weather comparable or have you never been to England? I went to England near the summer and I thought it was really humid, but then I live in Arizona and us Americans really love our air conditioning. REALLY love it. That's the only thing I *didn't* like about England was the lack of air conditioning. XD

Anyway, yes. Enjoy your dinner! I'm off to make food, too. :D

Thanks! I'm glad you like them - I think this might be my favourite batch of photographs, so it's nice to hear that others enjoy them too. ;)

The south-west, where I live, for example, is really quite the same. (As is the far south, which is where I was last week). And yes, the weather is very much the same in the south - I live in Gothenburg, and we get roughly the same amount of rain and humidity as London. Might be a tad cooler here, however - I believe the closest English climate would be Yorkshire. That said, I don't consider south-estern English weather to be much of a stretch ( ... )

Oooh, you've lived in Oxford? You're very lucky. I really loved Oxford... I dare say it was more how I wished London would have been, the way it felt a little more quaint and, you know, managable in size. It's the only place I visited that I could see myself living. London is a bit too high speed for me, I think.

Hehe, isn't it weird how cultures vary that way? I love air conditioning... Some people put it up too high, but for the most part, in the middle of summer, I love sitting around and *not* sweating. I guess, though, you get acclimated to wherever you are, so if I'd grown up in London or Sweden I probably wouldn't sweat in the same amount of heat/humidity, you know? But being spoiled with AC here, too much heat and I just get cranky. :)

I absolutely love Oxford, too, but it's almost blasphemy not to worship London in, my eyes. ;) Though yes, Oxford is by far a more literal (and perhaps quaint, particularly if you're not European) and smaller - cosier, if you will. But I have to say that one of my favourite things about London is the size and speed of the city - I'm quite restless in the country. Also, I suppose that's what you get when you come to Europe's largest city, heh. ;)

Gosh, you're so talented. No wonder I worship you ;p
Sweden does look amazing. I'm dying to see its beautiful landscape and cities one day.

And you're welcome to stay with me anytime. ;)

I really like the last three ones. I'm into photography but God, I am nowhere near your level. FABULOUS. :D What camera do you use, btw?

Thank you. ;)

I use a Canon EOS 300D, most of the time.
