Someone would seriously have to be quite gay not to think Helene Fischer is utterly irresistible!
I´m the last person who is manipulated by media... believe me.
I can´t stand people who are and who are completely fooled by it.
But the wedding was surprisingly enough very impressive and
showed my city in a very nice and wonderful way.
Nobody can say otherwise.

I am not gay but you seem to be lesbian ? Maybe Miss Fischer looks
nice but the music is really awful. I think you have better musicians
in your country like ABBA, Roxette, Mando Diao etc..
Why are you interested in 2 people marrying each other that you
know only by the media. In the meantime thousands of innocent
people and animals die of starvation or oil pollution and noone
cares. It`a sad world.
By the way is it you on the pic. If yes you look even more
beautiful than Helene. :)

It is HELENE on the pic!
That gave you away totally! ;)
Kent is a far better band then Mando Diao will ever be!
The best swedish band and the best band the world has ever heard!
Check out their songs on YouTube like "747", "Dom Andra",
"Max 500", "Columbus", "Chans", "M", "Generation Ex", etc.
Outstandingly powerful stuff! :cheers:

Very nice. Was it shot at 3 o'clock or so? :)
I can't remember such a sunny night in Stock, to be honest. :)

No skyline, beautiful city although.

^^ Agreed.

Not much of a skyline,but very dense and beautiful!I see some tower cranes in those pics,whats going up?

Victoria tower probably

It's a pretty looking town, although not very spectacular.

Traditional european city 8,5/10!

Are all the new buildings bad? No, of course.
And why should all the 'glassy' architecture be considered as modern? I think, the era of glass in architecture is going to an end and people tend to build using some 'alternative' or eco - friendly materials more and more nowadays. :)

^^ well... I can't see one great modern building (in those pictures anyway, or others I have searched)

The gap is huge between the arhitecture of old buildings and the new ones.

A modern building at the same level with the old ones would be T.T. from Malmö :)

The first one is not modern (in fact, it's extremely unmodern), and completely awful.
The second one is nice yes, but not in the city.

I haven't really thought about this before. We do not have a single great modern building in the actual city. Not one. :ohno:

if you rate lowrise and how organized it is, it is probably the best in europe for sure, but highrises is nothing impressive at all :(. so a 7.5 all thanks to the beauty and nature this city offer.

It may be. :) It is a bit distant district from the city center and that would give it a La Défense effect. :)

And now some night views (hystoric skyline, though):

This truly is quite amazing - a view that needs to be preserved.

Other than that I hope lots of new top quality highrises will eventually appear. I just hope Stockholm won't be stuck with more mediocre projects like the Waterfront Project (awful hotel, decent office building and a pseudo-distinctive + horribly executed congress building)

Nice, but a little bit grey. Stokholm looks better in some places. :)

C'mon, the 'Waterfront' complex doesn't look bad at all and especially the congress building, which has an interesting facade.
And why do you think that Stockholms inner city should be packed with highrises, like in many other cities? I think, districts like Kista would be a better place to build a cluster. Moreover, there already are some taller buildings.
