The Tunnelbana Station in the Stockholm neighborhood of Axelsberg has the name of the area spelled out in a giant glass, concrete, stone and iron sculpture that stretches the entire length of the platform. Each letter of the name "Axelsberg" is between 3 and 4 meters tall and built into a recessed embankment.
This art installation was put into the Axelsberg station in 1983 by artists Leif Bolter, Veine Johansson, Inga Modén and Gösta Wessel.
Because the platform is so long, it's hard to really see the entire word at once. I tried to capture the entire thing by taking a photo of each letter and then stitching the pictures together. The result is what you see below. It didn't turn out as seamlessly as I had hoped it would, but it was a fun thing to try. As a matter of fact, it's pretty bad. So much for trying to capture "Shoulder Mountain."
