Sunset Reflections

Another November sunset. The Water Towers in Handen changes color all the time because of the new design made by the HMXW-architects. I took this photo with the help of one of my two new Viltrox extenders on the new zoom lens. To see how different the towers can look check out the rest of my photos in my flickr set.

Towers During Sunset

You have seen them before, and chances are you will see them again. The Water Towers in Handen. Because of the intuitive design they will always look different. This was the scene one december afternoon not too long ago during a colorful sunset.

Rainbow over the towers

Rainbow over the water towers in Handen. Fourteen photos stitched together. Shot with the Canon 6D and the Nifty Fifty lens. It was raining as I took the photos and I stood unprotected so I had to be quick. The buildings in front of the towers was once part of the Fredrika Bremer secondary school.

Water Towers in November

Two recent photos of the water towers in handen. I took snaps both with the old Canon using the 85mm lens. I took the sunset photo yesterday afternoon. The foggy photo is an early afternoon photo from a few days ago.

Redesigned & Soon Gone

One of the two redesigned water towers at the industrial area in Handen. I try to shoot them from all possible angles when I'm in the area so feel free to look through the slideshow. The building in front of the tower is part of the "Fredrik" secondary school. It will be gone soon as a new modern school has been built across the road from here. The industrial area is situated in central Handen and I think it's days are numbered as the politicians would like to see apartments here in the future especially when the new Albyberg industrial area a few kilometres from here is ready.

Fenced in tower

Another look a the redesigned water towers in Handen. No one ever noticed them before, but now they are hard to miss. I try to shoot them from different angles whenever I can. Shot this one from the nearby secondary school, Fredrika Gremer-gymnasiet.

Lights Out

My latest photo project. The redesigned water towers in Handen. The official unveiling is next week when the lights will be turned on. Whenever I am in the area I have tried to shoot the towers from a different angle. Biking through the industrial area a while back I noticed this old street lamp at the Posten Företagcenter so I stopped for a few photos.

The Water Towers

The old water towers in Handen before and after the face lift. The new design is thanks to HMXW architects. They call it Mirrors & Triangles. It will be a landmark in Handen that's for sure, because no one ever noticed the old ( and rather ugly), towers and no one will miss the "new" towers. The twin towers now have a reflective surface that will change with the daylight and the seasons. They differ a bit in design and one tower will reflect more of the sky than the other. I guess I should make this a new project and show some photos every now and then.

Mirrors & Triangles

Back in December I showed you a photo of one of the two old water towers in Handen. That was when the scaffolding was on it's way up. Now it is on it's way down again. And then they will start on the second tower. The new facade is called Mirrors/Triangles. Designed by HMXW architects. You can see a few illustrations at their website. The facade is made from aluminum. The triangles will change color with the daylight. The towers will also be lit up during the night. I took the photos from three different locations. I took the last photo from the top of a hill on the other side of the motorway, and I was quite sure that I was the only person shooting from up there but when I climbed up a few people with tripods were on their way down.
