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 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.

I climbed up a hill in Handen a few days ago. The reason for that was to find a good spot for shooting photos of old City Hall and the two big water towers. Both places will look very different in the near future. The City Hall building which is located at the Haninge mall has been empty for nearly six years. PEAB will now rebuild it into an apartment complex. New balconies will be added and windows will be changed . If you stand on the roof of that building you can see for miles away in every direction. As for the water towers, they will get a reflective surface with different colored triangles that will change color during the season and even during the day. One tower will reflect the sky and the other the surrounding area. I think I found a good spot so expect to see updated views every now and then.

Back in 1912, a few years after the first plant nurseries opened in Tungelsta a water tower was built at the Rocklösaån stream at Gideon Wolmer's property. For many years the tower provided water for many of the greenhouses in the area. They used a "vindmotor" to pump up the water to the water tank. Today everything associated with the water supply is long gone and the building is used for storage. The Wolmer greenhouses are also gone. I took a photo of the sad remains two years ago and they are also gone now.
