One of my favourite spots in Malmö is the hill at Lernacken just next to the Öresund Bridge. It’s not far from the city centre, but it’s quiet and deserted and hosts the best view in town. It’s the perfect place for a nice stroll in solitude. But not for long. Next year, this wildly green area will be demolished to leave room for the construction of a new large hotel. The reclusiveness will then be gone and the view reserved for paying customers. It’s sad, really. Now I must find a new place I can escape to when I need to be by myself.

I visited Lernacken after today’s lectures. I snapped this photo of the lighthouse at the top of the hill. I don’t know when it was built, but it has kept ships from running ashore for as long as I can remember.
