Malmö

A short train ride away from Lund, Malmö is the place locals go for shopping and some Swedish nightlife.

I, however, neither shopped nor stayed for the clubs that night. But, I have a few pictures of the city that show some Swedish architecture and landscape.
Most cities I have been to thus far in Europe and Scandinavia are built around a canal or some body of water. Malmö is no different in that regard.

The next few pictures are buildings and sculptures around the city:


The curvature in the straight-block road has a captivating visual effect that is only slightly depicted here


Frozen Sculpture (the two jetstreams are actually flowing upwards and not frozen)

Neat crustacean pillar (we found it while lost)


Somewhere in the area is a church that's been converted to a bar; this one is likely not it, but how cool if it was!


A lapse between human eyes and camera technology, this building is stunning in real life (front)

When I came to Malmö with friends we were all pent up with energy from staying in Lund for so long. So we walked around with mustaches and made asses of ourselves :)





Paula and Spencer; Paula's stach looks 100% legit

Mission of the trip: find the Turning Torso. Probably the coolest building I've seen, it's a modern feat of civil engineering that you can't help but wonder "how the f***?"
Turning Torso


No pictures from the inside, that luxury was reserved for those who are staying in the Turning Torso hotel.

The last highlights of the trip are a gorgeous port, and futuristic playground:

Notice the fractured ice, thin enough to throw a stone through (so long as you don't overswing and nearly hit the volvo parked behind us . . .)

"Under Construction" -- seriously would have made the trip right there.
