A bit Freaky but perfect for the cc. In fact I like all three of your shots. I don't even feel like I have to wish you good luck. You have some great finds here. :) Randy

A nice shot of the Turning Torso! Thanks for commenting my Stockholm shots. As Calatrava is my favourite architect, I wanted to see this building when I came to Stockholm in August, but I found out that Malmo was quite far away from Stockholm. I saw on TV how this building was being constructed and people on the upper floors have a terrific sea view with the bridge connecting Sweden with Denmark. Gayane

Sometimes you just wonder how the architect came up with this idea and how he made it work. Lovely

A wonder to see, twisting and turning to the sky.

Hei. Takk for din hilsen i mitt Sverige album. Jeg har alltid trodd at Malmoe var en kjedelig by. Og da jeg skulle bytte tog der en soendag og maatte vente en time, tok jeg en tur opp i byen - og fikk sjokk - Jeg fant en vidunderlig vakker og spennende by. Jeg kommer helt sikkert tilbake, for denne byen vil jeg oppleve. Dette taarnet saa jeg fra toget, og vet det finnes en spennende bydel der, haaper aa se det ogsaa en dag. Sender deg komplimenter for dine vakre fotos. Hilsen fra Bergen. EVA

I'm with Marra's comment, it does remind me of a twist on the Tower of Piza. Great capture to show off the amazing angles. Greetings and hugs from, OKLAHOMA. Susie

The windowcleaning is including in the monthly rental pay! I saw the guy hanging outside doing it.... I would not change with him for anything!!! :))

Breathtaking! Super shot.Jozef

This is about as modern as it gets. It also makes me wonder, what the wind does to it!

Even better view of it. I learn so much right here on Webshots, especially when the photographer take a little extra time to write about the subject, as you have. Thanks! Barbara

My goodness, this is really something else. Love the design and your capture of it.

I am so glad you have shown us these photos because otherwise it is doubtful I would ever have known of it's existence. What a great photo.
said georgieboy98
Odd indeed ... I wonder if the people get a sense of drama when they're inside ...
said velcrogirl
wonder how they would have constructed it ...
said taruni85
One should call this shot a modern Tower of Piza:)
