Photos from a walk through town

Just a few images from a walk through town.

Impressive tree in the middle of the square of Katedralskolan. I would like to see it again in Spring.

If you walk through the gate of the Katedralskolan, there is a map of the complex directly left. I find the symbol indicating your position quite friendly. Far better than the avarage cross or arrow.

Apartment buildings at Järnåkravägen.

And below, slightly newer apartment buildings nearby.

When I stumbled upon this office and industries behind it, I wondered : is this where it all came from? And indeed. Tetra Pak (according to wiki) was founded in Lund in 1951 by Ruben Rausing, who was Sweden's richest man when he died in 1981. According to the same wiki page it was Erik Wallenberg who invented the tetrahedal package or Tetra Classic. I guess, in 1981, IKEA was not yet on the move as it is now, in terms of producing some big geographical area's richest person.


Plommonvägen


There are four apartmentbuildings at Södra Vägen, that look like gate keepers at the south end of town.


At their south side they are tilting a bit by design.


Now that I see these pictures of the north side, I am not sure whether on the side the buildings are tilting by design or by effect or because the lens is doing this.



Just a few meters further, on Kastanjegatan you can see how they made rows of apartmentbuildings a couple of decades (I guess) ago.


And walking further into town, there are a lot of houses as least as nice as these on the crossing of Södra Esplanaden and Rådbygatan.



If you walk into Rådbygatan you'll end up at Mårtenstorget, a square with a market ...


... and an Apple store. Always a nice to place to end. Unfortunately iPhones are not yet available in Sweden and the new MacBook Air had not yet arrived. Just a few weeks before I can start drooling over one of those.
