Whenever we pass this colorful suburban business park / residential area beside the highway E4 into Stockholm city I wish I could take pictures of it. Something which alas is not doable from the car.
But today we made a detour with a photo purpose. It's a lovely piece of sculture up close! The surrounding buildings and architecture isn't of a very pleasing kind, but the candy colours of the 'polkagris' candy cane art and two facades of two nearby buildings are amazing.
Stunning. Happiness instigating. Colours ftw!
EDIT: I just learnt from a local politician on Twitter that the piece of art is called Dandy. That it was inaugurated in August 2014 and that the German artists who made it tell the story of its inspiration in parts is the nearby motorway and in parts a snazzy saundering dandy in striped trousers. The sculpture is 15 metres high and the perception of it changes depending on the angle.
