An iconic sculpture..........with an awesome backdrop! These are two of the most dramatic shots I've seen of it Gudrun. Both are beautifully composed in lovely light and with fantastic detail. The main image is especially brilliant..!! ⭐️

I was mesmerised by this fascinating sculpture you captured in a perfect light , Gudrun!
I read it was inspired by the Viking boats.
