Spring Break: Malmö

Images from a photography enthusiast based in Oslo

Back in April, we spent most of a week in the Swedish city of Malmö.

We happened to be staying near the waterfront and, as such, spent much of our time going to and fro with a view of the Øresund Bridge, which connects Sweden with Denmark over the straight. I readily admit that I took way too many images of the bridge and that fact is reflected in today’s post.

However, in and amongst the pictures of the bridge are a couple of water towers, some doggies, random stairs and even the moon hiding behind the Turning Torso tower.

Here is a collection of shots from our time in Malmö. Have a scroll through and thank you for stopping by!

Thanks so much for your visit! I hope you’ll be back again next time.

(Pssst: The Øresund Bridge aside, another type of structure I have been drawn to on visits to Skåne are the very fun water towers. Last spring we stayed in Ystad — IN an old brick water tower! — and in a Substack post from that visit, I included a shot of the sun setting behind another set of water towers there which were more modern. And now, while in Malmö, I happened to see and shoot two more water towers which I included here. The brick structure, known as Södervästornet, was designed by Salomon Sörensen and built back in 1916. To me, it looks like a chubby eye-liner pencil or crayon with that particular rooftop. I also saw what looked a bit like a UFO peeking above the rooftops when we were out on the top of the Emporium mall — and that too is a water tower, the Hyllie Vattentorn, which was designed in 1973 by Karl Ivar Stål. It is clear I really need to keep my eyes peeled from now on for more awesome and strange water towers. I’m hooked. Are you a fan of water towers? What are your favorite varieties?)
