Kristina


Near Langelinje with the Little Mermaid stands this proud woman called Kristina, looking out over the harbour. She is a monument to the Danish Mormons who immigrated to Utah in 1852, thereby being the forerunners for the Danish wave of emigrants that left Denmark to seek their fortune in the new lands. The whole story of Kristina can be read here.

    The link leads me to Picasa. I wonder about the story though.
