A map of Sweden. Look at the top for Kiruna and Narvik (Norway).
We went on a boat trip around Stockholm and went to the Vasa Museum.  An absolutely amazing place.  The Vasa sunk August 10, 1628 and was salvaged in April 1961.  The dark timber is original and the lighter coloured timber is the repairs made in modern times.	Kiruna Church - Amazing carvings and lovely wooden details.  The church photo is slightly overexposed as I was shooting in bad light and I wanted to catch the detail.  The mine in Kiruna (basically the only reason the town exists!) is to produce Iron Ore.  The visitor tour is on a non-working level and is very clean and neat.
From Kiruna we did a few driving trips.  The first was out to Sweden's highest mountain "Kebnekaise".  You can only get to about 10km away before you have to start walking... Needless to say, we saw it from a distance.  There were some amazing photo opportunities.  We met up with an fellow Aussie on the Kiruna Mine trip and we went to Abisko National Park where it snowed on us on the longest day of the year.  From Abisko, we drove to Narvik in Norway and then returned to Kiruna where I took the photo of the Midnight Sun.  Along the way I took what I think are my best landscape photos ever.  These are all un-retouched.

In Stockholm, we did a tour by bus and another by boat.
On the last day in Kiruna we went to the Ice Hotel and enjoyed a look at it in its "summer form", which is a big freezer holding lots of blocks to kick-start next year's igloos.  There is an Icebar (sponsored by Absolut Vodka) where everything is ice; the bar, chairs, tables, glasses, everything!!  All the colours are un-retouched.  It is really that blue!  The shot of Julie is taken without flash.
