i never tire of base jumping vids..

would love to do it someday.

That tower in Malmo... kinda sticks out a bit... doesn't really fit with the rest of the city.

Sadly, whilst I absolutely adore Sweden (my most favourite country).... Malmo isn't a nice city... kind of like the birmingham of Sweden... sprawling, soul-less and not at all attractive.

I think it is in the midst of a transition from the last time I was there. While I didn't stay long it seemed a mix of the older, sprawling, I guess "old school" design mixed here and there with newer buildings few and far between. I adore the country too, somehow though the city doesn't have it's niche yet. Maybe more traffic from Copenhagen will help, time should tell.

The turning torso almost reminds me of the placement of the Sony Center in Berlin, a masterpiece of urban architecture surrounded in part by generations of other style buildings.
