Winter reflection [Skyscraper Pictures Tall Buildings Pictures Towers]
Uploaded: January 30, 2012 05:47:46
For the PG101 Ice Theme.
This reflection picture was taken in Malmoe; the town where I was born. The building is called "Turning Torso" and is a deconstructivist skyscraper in Malmoe, Sweden. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories. This reflection was seen in the (empty) pool which surrounds the tower; currently with water/ice puddles in it.
Thanks to my dad for inspiring idea!
