Greetings guys

My wife and I took a spin around our local Swedish big box furnishing store today and we stumbled upon this in the self serve section.

Shot with a 50 1.2 AI-S Nikkor wide open.

Peace
Peter

Something different.

What's a Swedish Box and why would someone have a shop full of them?

Love it!

M.A. he means a store like IKEA. Big box stores are big warehouse style stores usually found on the outskirts of town or on a major road.

Thanks JAS. Not a term I've heard before. So a large store that provides items ready to assemble with crap instructions and parts, all in a big box. I get it.

Actually, the instructions are wordless and quite good. The quality is decent as well.

Awesome capture for me. I really like this one. Cheers :)

And I thought they were called Big Box Stores because the architecture of the buildings were plain and simple - just a big box.
