He


Apart from the time lapse video I showed you yesterday I also got a few other shots Friday morning in Helsingør. This one is of the merman in the harbour, starring at the rising sun. The sculpture called Han (Danish for he) is made of steel by the artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset in 2010 as a modern version of Copenhagen's Little Mermaid. It got a mixed review by the public; the county and the politicians loved it but the department in charge of the castles and public buildings, the landscape architect responsible for the new harbour area in Helsingør and the foundation that financed the new area were not pleased.

  1. What a beautiful picture! Nice composition and then the sun in the background to give this special light.

    Have to go there myself ... haven't seen the sculpture in real life yet.

  2. A lot of rebuilding is still happening there with the new Kulturværftet and surrounding area. It does look promising :)
