OWS in Stockholm Sweden. (link to photos)
I was in town and I happened by chance to pass through Occupy Stockholm.

<a href="http://s1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff447/vhaggstrom/?action=view¤t=277.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

On the one hand, it doesn't look like much, compared to other OWS occupations.
But on the other hand, would you like to sleep outside in a tent in Sweden in November?
Not only that, but Sweden has fared relatively well, in terms of the financial crisis, and also Sweden has wisely kept their own currency.

I think these people are real troupers for taking the effort to protest despite the relatively good economic conditions here.

I can translate any and all of the signs if you are curious. :)

5. The sign in the first photo says,
It's a growth dilemma. Nothing can grow forever.

8. Thanks. This was apparently a period of downtime.
I found out later, they have had big gatherings, including the one I missed Friday night.
They're having another big gathering Monday evening. I'll try to make it there.

9. Thanks for keeping us informed.
I love that the movement is gaining momentum in 'wealthy' countries.
