Walk with me - Spring in Malmö city

in #walkwithme7 years ago

After an eternity of bad weather we finally got some really nice weather! Almost all the snow has melted and it is starting to feel like spring. A perfect day for a walk. This one is from the city center and took about an your, but that was with a lot of stops and chatting...

In the summer you can rent small boats att this place and pedal yourself along the canals.

image

There is just enough space to get under some of the bridges and tall people better watch their heads!

image

The canal is mostly surrounded by older buildings. The closest building to the left used to be the office of Massive entertainment.

image

There are some amazing old trees in the city center. Majestic! And whenever there is some big event in town the city makes sure that the trees are protected.

This is the old graveyard. A place that is beautiful year round but peaks in spring when att first the yellow and white spring flowers covers the lawns. And after a few weeks the lawns turns into a sea of blue when the scilla blossoms.

One of many pieces of art in town, "The Emigrants" by Carl Milles. Made in 1940 and yet feels very up to date. The figures on the back of the fish are each supposed to be holding a special skill that they needed for their new life.

Now we have moved to Drottningtorget (the Queens Square). The yellow building was originally used by the military for housing horses and carriages. Since then it has had a lot of different uses, among them housing a Red Cross museum. Now it is a combined boulevenue and bar.

And a little bit further to the left.

The city center is actually a mix of old and new buildings.

We end todays walk with a mural. If you like me love street art Malmö should definitely be on your to go list! A lot of legal walls and also some beautiful murals around town.

Hey there girl, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and love your photos, great weather, I wanna live there, and it reminds me of Quebec when I was there in 2006 and love art and I do photography.

Wow, thank you for taking us on this beautiful #walkwithme, amazing shots and descriptions, I would love to paddle down that canal!

The mural was exquisite, the colours so Vibrant!

I was amazed that you were able to get this tree into one frame! What a Giant!!

Thankyou for coming along!

To me well done street art is happy art, when you see it it just boosts the mood :)

Haha, have to admit that taking the picture of the tree I had to back, and then back some more...

The walkwithme concept is a really nice one. It makes me realize how much history that has passed and what marks it has left... And also nice to share the beuty of places!
