Travel Writing & Photography
Just for interest when you have time.
You will find this building in Malmö, Sweden. It is known as the Turning Torso. The design is based on the characteristics of a human backbone twisting in exercise.
Work has drawn me to many places such as this but there is no place like home. Australia is unique. Writings and photographs in this section are almost exclusively about the Great South Land.
