Millesgarden

Went to this very cool?(think my vocabulary nowadays is severely limited), pictureque residence cum working studio of
the famous Carl Miller of Stockholm last weekend. You will have no idea what a big deal this scupltor is until
you go to Millesgarden, then you will understand all the sculptures in stlm belong to this dude. From the City hall tower
to the front of the Concert house, there are traces of his statues. He has a distinctive style of making the scuplture
look as if they are defying gravity, with longggg out-stretched hands and legs, or having animals on the hand of a human
who is by the way, balancing on his TOE...so yes...wowwwwwwww

The amazing part of this garden is that it is adorned with Carl Miller's scupltures everywhere, fountains and all, it is
on a hilltop and you can see the river, heard it is fantastic in the summers where pple just sit in the garden reading next to the
statues. Think we got a glimpse of it even though its autumn now.There is this Glass house cafe in the garden, which looks
like the kind of glass hse cafe that i always dreamt of opening in singapore, where you can see the rain falling on the panes,
really like the atmopshere, even thought of having fake rain spewing on the outer panes of the cafe..but as my architect sister says, its going
to be very hot as glass traps heat. so.....darn......
