21 November 2009: By train to
Malmö. I receive a text messages: 'sitting in the carriage 13,
cattle wagon'. My friend's dog is happy to see me. In Malmö we go
past the former hydrofoil terminal, and to the University Bridge. At
the extension of the bridge is the twisted house Turning Torso visible.
Continues up to Krankajen, it is desolate today. Past the school
Mediegymnasiet, a large car park, a skateboard track,
Malmömässan, and we stand at the Turning Torso.
There are many people who shoot pictures of it. This twisted tower must
be Sweden's most photographed residential building. I now belong to
this crowd of photographers. Around the house seems to be a pond, but
it's just an illusion, a little guy go skateboarding on 'water'. The
house turns high above the surrounding area. We go north, along a
channel, with reed beds, past tables in the form of surfboards. Arrive
at Scaniaparken with some piers. South to Daniaparken. A construction
resembles a fortress overlooking the sea, We sit down in a shelter of
stone with view towards the sea and the Öresund bridge, eating
your own packed lunch.
I need a toilet. There! Clean, odorless, free, Great! In a glass bubble
is a garden, in front of it is a stone with water groove. Everywhere is
the twisted house watching. It's beautiful weather, many people is in
motion on Sundspromenaden. 'A cat', my friend say. It runs away when it
sees the dog. I walk down some wooden steps, maybe it shows up there.
Meow, nice cat! In a channel is floating houses. Goes along a canal
back to the Turning Torso. It is reflected in the water. Must exist
many pictures of this view, now there's another one. Moving towards the
railway station. In a parking garage is a fitness center. In a large
window we see a man training. Excuse me, can not help but take a
picture.
