Unfortunately there is only one of giraffes in my pictures so please find the other one also.
Beckholmen is very exciting area that has also these two huge giraffe cranes that I find very intuitive idea to make art. These are better viewed from otherside of the dock like in pictures. Wikipedia tells that cranes were originally at Södra Hammarbyhamnen but were relocated here in Beckholmen in 1988 and by seachin some more internet I found out that these are painted by swedish artist and scenographer Tor Svae.
Cranes are popular landmarks in Stockholm seen from the Viking cruise ship harbour.
