A stunning buildning in the third largest city of Sweden, Malmoe. This building is also designed by Santiago Calatrava. A visit to the Turning Torsos official website will show you this magnificent building, www.turningtorso.com . If you visit that site, be sure to use the 360 degree panoramic view found in the menu on the left. If you do so, be sure to look directly to the south. By doing so you will see a pier close by. A couple of hundred meters inland you will find the neighbourhood in which the Swedeish footballstar, that would be soccer for you americans, Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently purchased a villa for the amount of about 3 Million Euros (4.2 Million US Dollars). Here are a couple of pictures of the Turning Torso and of course the link on Google. On Google Maps you will see that the buildning is not yet completed although it was campleted by August 2005. http://pax-europa.com/sweden/files/turning-torso.jpg http://www.mediaarchitecture.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/TurningTorso11.jpg http://www.bizzbook.com/hamnen/bilder/TurningTorso/torsoLights11.jpg http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=55.61319,12.976785&spn=0.004484,0.010042&t=k&z=17&om=1 As a Swede I must also point you towards what is the hightest Skyscraper in Sweden, the Turning Torso.

Too hot for dogs or barefooted people to cross. They have cheesy signs up warning people about this danger. It as been a couple years since I've been ther so maybe they have found a solution or at least better signage.
