Spring
Good morning with this beautiful spring view from south of Sweden.
Wavy walls
Those “wavy walls” are known as crinkle crankle walls, but also called serpentine, ribbon, or sinusoidal walls. They’re a classic example of how geometry can be used to outsmart the physical limitations of building materials.
The shape provides built-in structural stability, fewer bricks are used than are needed for a straight wall – which is the main reason they are built that way.
Saint Claire church
The Church of Saint Clare is located in central Stockholm, just 100 m from Stockholm’s central railway & subway stations. It’s a Lutheran church, built in 1572-1590 on the site of an older church, dating back to the 13th century.
The tower rises majestically above the neighbourhood with its Gothic & distinctive silhouette. It’s just one step into a quiet, sacred atmosphere in the middle of the city noise.
