Welcome to my blog!

I love photography so this blog will showcase my pictures. You will see (hopefully) some nice pictures, some bad pictures and some experimental pictures (that would be the pictures I take when I dare push the settings button on my camera beyond Auto).

The city destroyer


This is the statue of Magnus Stenbock. The cannons and cannonballs from yesterdays picture are located at the rear end of the base that the statue stands on. On the front of the base, there's two soldiers, one of them is holding the Scanian flag. The statue stands outside the city hall which can be seen in the background. However, this man did not come to Helsingborg as liberator and defender against the Danes. He came to crush the Danes claims on Scania for good. He bombed the city to pieces and showed no mercy to Scanians and Danes. Some people want to sink him in the harbour, others want to keep him because he's a war hero. I say send him back to the Swedes, LOL!

  1. Nice picture though - and the City Hall looks like a great old building.

  2. It's from 1897 and was recently voted the most beautiful building in Helsingborg.
