| HSB Turning Torso is a Deconstructivist skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait.[1] It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories.[2] Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia,[1] the tallest residential building in the EU and the second tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-metre (870 ft)-high Triumph-Palace in Moscow. A similar, taller skyscraper featuring a 90° twist is the Infinity Tower, currently under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Prior to the construction of Turning Torso, the 86-metre (280 ft)-high Kronprinsen had been the city's tallest building. |

Hello Serban,
Interesting modern architecture.
Great light tones, brightness on the lower part of photo and darkness on the top.
Best regards,
Tatjana
I've seen images of this building before and it always impresses.
Great wide view of it, well composed shot - I like what you've done here.
