I worked for 2 years (1997-1999) in Sweden (in Uppsala). This is a very photogenic country, with great nature. In winter, the snow, the pure blue sky and the low sunlight make great conditions for pictures. The problem is, you have to cope with the cold. In the summer, the days are long and sunsets last for hours, melting in sunrise if you are north enough in country. Uppsala is a small town, with the oldest university in Scandinavia and some fine architecture.
