And so I find myself in Esbjerg, en route to Copenhagen to meet up with my daughter. Mhairi's friend asked her 'why is your mother travelling through Esbjerg?'. Not a silly question, but the answer is simply because there was a direct flight from Aberdeen (not often the case) and so I'm taking the train from Esbjerg to Copenhagen later today. It has also allowed me to visit a different city in Denmark. After arriving yesterday afternoon I walked out to visit these 30-foot tall statues near the beach - Mennesket Ved Havet by Svend Wiig Hansen. They are rather impressive.
Awesome….quite startling to see those large statues…I will Google them. Lovely to be visiting your daughter….have a great weekend! She will be glad to see you.
Oh wow, you are in Esbjerg. I love the Mennesket. They are impressive and make a cool subject. Funny as I have been there just end of August,... Have a great trip and enjoy the meet up with your daughter.
Great capture of them- they make you wonder- why are they there? What are they looking at? Thinking about? I like how your photo brings those thoughts to mind rather, "Oh, nice statues..."
@mona65 They are fabulous, aren't they?! I loved them. Back in Esbjerg as I type and heading back to Aberdeen later today. My weekend with my girl is over :-(
@olivetreeann They gaze out to sea. Not obvious from this image. There are many different ways to capture them - I did quite a few different angles. They're certainly very impressive and very photogenic!
They look cool statues and art. I might have considered getting something in the frame to be able to judge the scale ( don't know if that is possible though )
@phil_howcroft Yes - some people for scale would have been good, but it was difficult to get people and not get the camper vans and buses in the background. I loved the sky in this shot, but am not certain it was the best shot I took. I opted for a different angle rather than the classic 'front on' shot.
