Here are the Echoes of My Neighbourhood, a fun challenge by Jacqueline. Every Thursday she invites us to share photos of our neighbourhood and link them to her blog. I think it’s a lovely way of having a glimpse of the world we live in through pictures.
I was away in Sweden last weekend to attend a birthday party as well as execute some personal projects. Here are sights of Malmo, Sweden.
My photography is nothing professional. A work in progress though! 🙂
I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at this bustling city of Malmo, in the beautiful Scandinavian country. Join me again next Thursday as I take you through the next surprise… Haha!
Thank you, Jacqueline, for this opportunity.
Peace and Love!

There are so many lovely things going on here. That emporium building is gorgeous. I like the steel sculptures. They are cute and every bone inside me is dying to explore that old architectural building in there 😊

It’s such a charming place. The interior is breathtaking! I read in one of your post that Sweden is on your list of travel destinations in Europe. You will sure enjoy the visit. It’s a beautiful country. 🙂

Travelling does put a hole in the pocket though. It requires planning and savings but it’s a worthy experience. 🙂

The photo with the statues on the street is interesting. Is it called something? Are they made of out of metal?

Thanks for asking this question. Yeah, they are called – The Optimistic Orchestra or Optimistorkestern in Swedish. They are bronze statues created in 1985, by a local artist called Yngve Lundell. I’ve edited the post with these infos. I appreciate. 🙂

Don’t be sorry! Hey Malmo is a stone throw from DK. So when next you get to DK, just take the train to Malmo. Really glad to connect. 🙂 🙂

Wow, Malmo. Never heard of it…thanks for the introduction:) My initial thoughts on the statues was ‘marching band’. Not that far off:)

Well, now you know… Lol. Malmo is a popular city in Sweden and the third largest. It is 20 minutes away by train from the Copenhagen Airport. It will interest you to know that Malmo is home to the World Maritime University (WMU). An enchanting city, I’d say. 🙂

I never thought I’d see Malmo! I’ll have to send the kids a link so they can see where their ancestors come from. 🙂 Debra Malmos

Hi Simpledimple -My two children have Danish blood from their Dad, whose Grandparents were the first generation to come to the USA (stone masons), so most of the distant relatives still inhabit that region. Someone kept very good records of that family tree. We’ve connected long distance, but have never met. Lots of Kin in Denmark! 🙂 How long have you been there?

That’s great to know. It’s good to identify with one’s root. I’ve been here for a long time now. Done a decade plus. 🙂
