Malmö skylines and views
This part is about skylines and tall buildings. It is hard to see a skyline
of Malmö, cause there are no hills and there few tall buildings to get
up in and the city center can hardly be seen from the sea. But I have manage
to capture the skyline from some angels. Västra Hamnen/Bo01 is one of the
few skylines that can be seen from the water. The views of Bo01, Öresundsbron
and the limestone quarry can be seen in the outskirts section.
The skyline was improved between 2003 and 2005 by Turning Torso, a famous controversial
building that is much taller than all other buildings.

If you climb up one of these high hills between the 2 commie block districts
Holma and Kroksbäck, you can see the whole Malmö. The commie block districts in
the outskirts are visible closest to the camera, and in the background you can
see the more "wealthy" districts of Malmö and the city center. It is all pointed
out together with the most important buildings.

Yes, you can even see Öresundsbron...
...and the wealthy suburb of Limhamn from the hills of Holma. And if you look
far, can you see Copenhagen on the horizon?
