Street photography in Malmö

Here I am again with a serie “street photography in Malmö”, I went to Malmö on a whim. I’ve booked a flight to Copenhagen took my camera and then few hours later was there. First in Katrsup airport then I took the train and passed the Oresunds bridge (who inspired song and a TV Show.) I’ve heard a lot about Malmö, but when you see with your eyes is a much more better. I’ve been there for only three days, but I have seen a lot of things. During this week-end it started with surprising a friend who lives there and sharing a beer. Then exploring the city during the next day’s with my camera on my grip.

Ribersborg beach – Malmö

After breakfast, the sea ! Let’s see if I can’t make a swim on this unexpected warm week-end in Sweden. But first having a little nap and recover from last night trip. It was the occasion to take some picture of the bay. There was families there enjoying the weather and some others went to the sauna ” Kallbadhus“. The water was kind of cold but I didn’t allow my self to try it. A straight jump to it is better !

Sunday Morning in Malmö

Gender equality in Sweden is really something compared to other countries of the UE or in the world. Sweden has really took a big step forward and since many years.

Woman priest in Malmö

Doesn’t have anything to deal with the picture below. But I wasn’t expecting meeting with a woman priest that day in Malmö. I followed her and we had a little talk while I was taking pictures of her. She was carrying some “croissant” to the church that Sunday morning.

Partying until Sunday morning

A walk with my camera makes me most of the time crossing the path of nice people, like that Sunday morning in Malmö while heading to sea I’ve found those folks taking some fresh air before getting back inside again to continue partying. I guess they were dancing the whole night and matinee. I really like the contrast  between the  two last pictures. They were took the same day just few minutes between each. You can see different people having different life.

Turning torso

You can’t go to Malmö wihtout seeing the turning torso building. But I would say and from my experience It’s hard to take a picture in Malmö without missing the Turning torso building in your frame. It’s nice, it’s big it’s twisting that’s it.

Triangeln station Malmö

The City Tunnel under Malmö is one of Sweden’s largest infrastructure projects, linking the province of Skåne (Scania) in southern Sweden with Zealand in Denmark. For Sweco’s architects, the assignment encompassed three of the tunnel’s underground stations: the Lower Malmö C Station, the Triangeln Station and the Hyllie Station.

In the streets of Malmö

I was having dinner with friends at the Green Mango. I saw nice couple walking through the streets of Malmö carrying a sofa on a bike and a trolley.

Instead of the rest of sweden it seems that’s typically Malmö to see stores that are displaying fruits & vegetables like this on the street side of the store.

Out of time scene in Malmö

After taking a nap that sunday at the ocean, I walked through Scaniaparken and saw this couple sitting and getting tanned during this sunny day in Sweden. I stopped to take this picture and while shooting this third woman with her bicycle came inside the frame. Felt like I had time traveled !

Folkets park Malmö

Going to Malmö without visiting the Folkets park is a mandatory, from Malmö Värnhem to Folkets park we had a walk with my friend Kajsa. She show me all the area and I’ve been lucky to assist to a folk concert in Barnens scen (The children’s scene) this yellow round house in the middle of the park. People where dancing this night under folk music some folk band were playing there during that night. While some other cello player were making some improvisation outside of it gathering curious people and others who are used to come there.
