I have a great job that sometimes takes me to interesting places in the city.
Every now and then I get the opportunity to get up in church towers or other high buildings.
Here’s a bunch of pics that I’ve taken during the last years from such places.
The first set of pics are taken from the old Central Post Office, located just by the Central Railway station.
Pics from June 2004.
Central Railway station. The church tower belongs to St Petri church, built in the 14th century.

The highrise is Slagthuset, an office building from the early 90’s. Not my cup of tea…

The City Tunnel project getting started, in September 2005. A railroad tunnel is being built under the city,
to achieve a faster connection between Malmö and Copenhagen.
