Malmö’s parks in autumn

[Nightsky]

I made a bike ride some days ago through to photograph the autumn in Malmö from the 3 largest parks of Malmö.

PILDAMMSPARKEN:


From the other side of Pildammsparken you can see the skyline of Sweden´s tallest residental skyscrapers: Turning Torso(190m, here still under construction) and Kronprinsen(83m).


Panorama of The lake with Kronprinsen, Turning Torso and Pildammstornet.


Pildammstornet, a former water tower, is home to many art exhibitions.


The tall Hilton hotel is mirroring in the lake of Pildammsparken.


Towards the new university building belonging to Malmö Högskola in marble and building belonging to the hospital.




Autumn in Pildammsparken.



Queen Silvia's garden.

A pound in Pildammsparken with a wellknown female statue.









The highrises of Borgmästargården and Annebergsgården have 17 floors each and are visible behind the lake of Pildammsparken.


The old water tower can be seen in the distance from the symmetric "tree boulevard".


Tallriken, "the plate". A huge circular place with high perfectly cut trees surrounding it, popular for picnics and events. A light show is taking place during midsummer.

Margaretapaviljongen. The pavilion is a memory of the Baltic exhibition and is named after the crown princess Margareta who helped the famous architect Ferdinand Boberg
with the exhibition.



Baltiska vägen.

The west entrance to Pildammsparken.

Malmö Opera and Music Theater is situated right next to Pildammsparken. Note the sculpture with fireflames in front of it. "Black Silk" is an opera based on Nighwish's music.

Next: Slottsparken and Kungsparken

Shown before, but worth to show again: Diana - the protector of animals" by Ernst Billgren is the newest sculpture in Slottsparken and also the nicest with its 15 bronze deers surrounding Diana in the shape
of an animal.


Carl Milles statue "Pegasus" in Kungsparken.

Kungs Oscars väg goes through Kungsparken and is sometimes trafficated by a museum tram.

The area around Kronprinsen, close to Slottsparken:


Kronprinsen, Sweden´s tallest residential building and Malmö´s tallest highrise until Turning Torso surpassed it. Completed in 1964, the building has 29 floors and is 83 meters tall.
You can watch the views from it's top floor at:

Kronprinsen means "the crown prince" and was the first building in Sweden to serve as a city in the city (John Hancock Center in Chicago was its prototype).
There is a restaurant on the top (Översten) and the ground floors contains a shopping mall. The building is not situated right in the city center, just a few blocks southwest of it.


Another view of Kronprinsen, from the backside at Regementsgatan.




Regementsgatan, a nice boulevard, just west of Kronprinsen.



Intersection Fersens väg/Regementsgatan. Malmö's former prime minister Göran Persson lived here.


Residential area between Pildammsparken and Slottsparken.
