It has been a cold white Christmas so I've been digging in the archives for a shadow and discovered this from Copenhagen.
The shadow belongs to the Ice Bear Statue at Langelinje Pier. The monument was erected in 1937, and depicts an ice bear with its two cubs on an ice flake. It was a gift of the harbour authorities and symbolizes Greenland, Denmark's Northernmost part. The monument was made by Holger Wederkinck.

Lovely shadow by the sea! I couldn't tell if it is a bear by the shadow, but that is where the shadowy fun begins - our imaginations are runnig wild with these shapes. A nice view of the dock. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous capture as always, Gerald! Love the blue water! Interesting statue and it is fun to let loose your imagination! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year!

Ooh, I like this one a lot! I think I can see one bear...
ReplyDeleteI'll have to google the full statue to see if I was really seeing what I was imagining.
Nice shadow! I was curious about the ice bear so I clicked the link. What a gorgeous statue!
ReplyDeleteHey the word verification is pandis. Made me think of pandas, which is keeping in with the bear theme :)
I like the different textures you captured!

Archives are very useful! I'm glad you explained the shadow, I would have puzzled about it otherwise.

Interesting shadow and love the dock textures where it falls!
ReplyDeleteWas this the Little Mermaid monument in Köpenhavn?
ReplyDeleteLooks so warm that the shadow falls so dark on the cobble stones.

No it was the Ice Bear statue as stated in the text - click on the link there to see it.
The Little Mermaid was nearby though.
