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?)






























You have some truly amazing work here!
That waterlogged skatepark (I assumed that's what it was) is extremely cool!
Thank you for sharing this!
Such a great set of images, especially those black and white ones. The third image in particular keeps drawing me back to it with it's sense of solitude. Lovely work!
