There was a recent post about this tower by @stoy@lemmy.zip over in !ccp@discuss.online (shameless plug for the community, I just created it the other day for posting public domain/creative commons stuff!)

It's what's known as the Old Stockholm telephone tower, and you're looking at lots and lots of telephone wires, before the whole thing was decommisioned due to running cables underground.

Oh well, whatever.
