Stockholm October 2005 pictures

This trip to Stockholm was due to a graduate school on "Middle atmospheric aerosols" which I attended together with approximately 20 other students from around the world and 10 lecturers. Most of the day we spent inside listening to lectures and seminaries, but on the evenings, I could catch a few views of Stockholm city.
