The Stockholm I Know (and Love)

I just had to post these few photos up, to let those who were here (i.e. Bob, Nick, Paul and Dawn) a week and a half ago know that Stockholm is actually really beautiful, when the sun's out and the skies are so clear and blue.
I experienced such fine weather when I first touched down in Stockholm, but I guess the saying's really true - you never appreciate what you have till you've lost it. Thankfully for me, in this case, the "lost" wasn't permanent; the dark and gloomy weather didn't stay and the skies cleared, so I could finally appreciate Stockholm's beauty (what I took for granted when I first arrived) and understand when people say Stockholm is beautiful.
Just a background on why I'm blogging about this: When Bob&theHamburgers were here, the weather was really bad...it rained everyday and it was so gloomy, with the dark clouds looming over our heads everytime we were out. In a way, it probably ruined their trip quite abit and left them with a not-too-wonderful experience of Stockholm. I experienced that weather for a week (it only started pouring when they arrived; prior to that, we had really good weather!) until last Sat, when (goodness I was really excited) the sun came out - I was really ecstatic lah.
So even though I hadn't really started on my studying (yes exam's next Monday and yes, I'm actually still quite unprepared), I decided to join my friend in showing his Aunt (who was here on a short trip) around Stockholm.
So to Bob&theHamburgers, this is how Stockholm is when the skies are clear:
