Pictures from Skåne - Sweden - Lund

Lund is the city of wisdom and ideas. The city is dominated by the university and the more than 30000 students, of which more than 100 % is using a bicycle. To drive on the narrow, and often oneway roads is difficult. The streets are still arranged according to the medieval structure. Lund can be dated back to the 10th centery, when there was a large settlement at Stora Uppåkra. Findings can be seen at the historical museum. Wherever one dig in the central city do one have to an archeological examanition first. In the 1960's did one remove many old buildings, but the cathedral was kept and is the main attraction of Lund.In Kattesund did one find remnants of a church, Drotten, which one kept inside the house built on top of it. Lund is rich in restaurants and cafeterias.

North of the cathedral is Lundagård, destroyed every fourth year by the great carnival. Though the old trees in Lundagård has survived many carnivals. Kungshuset, University house, Academic society house, Palaestra and the historical museum are all collected here. At Tegnerplatsen is the museum Kulturen.

The art hall show art that many in think is "wrong" art. In Skissernas museum is drawings and blueprints of art. The most invisible statue is Intighet ("nothingness") on Krafts torg. During the dark winter is a big tree near Lundagård dressed in light. Around Bantorget are other light installations.

There is no river nor beach in Lund, but in the south is the small brook Höjeå. The sewage treatment ponds at Höje å attract many birds. South of Höje å is the old mill Flackarps mölla. Near the mill is the old St Lars graveyard where mentally ill patients who died were buried without names. The relatives were not very proud of having ill relatives. If one get physically ill, then the huge university hospital is there to help. Do one do can one be buried on the North graveyard opposite the hospial.
