Well this is the "New Halmstad"...the only "skyscrape" in town.....24 flats high...LOL!!!!! (Nothing compared to real skyscrapes). The people in Halmstad thought it was really dumb to build this..it costed a fortune...but that politishian Jgen..really whanted hes memory, to remain....So did some trixs & "drove over the opinion"..so thats why this building is called "Jgens phallos" behind hes back...... ;) BIG erection LOL!!!!!!!!! Puss!!!!!!!!!!

LOL - amazing how many of these monuments to some local official there are in different places around the world.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Love the colors in this pic and that the lightreflection "paints" the middle of the "skyscraper"
