The Fishermen And the Cod.
Hi anders loved your old one but these are even better
ReplyDeletethose cars loooovvvveeee them
Thanks, Heidi <3
DeleteHi Anders!! Thanks for updating your post. Great set of photos. I love that classic old car. Good memorial to the boot-workers. Was that the same place that you posted about the demolition of the chimney? Are th fishermen trying to land a giant cod.....or are they rowing furiously to escape it??? LOL. Another great statue.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mitch and you're welcome. Indeed they worked at the Rubberboot Factory. Couild be either way.
DeleteWow, what a great car! I could spend hours looking at those cars. The statues are very evocative, especially the men pulling in the cod. (Or are they trying to escape, as Mitch wondered?) Either way, a couple of nice shots, with my favorite being the car show.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Benni <3
DeleteLovely cars, the veterans of the road. It's good to see memories of old craftmanship shown in the monuments and a bit of history included about the rubber boot manufacture. Good photo of the fishermen in their boat.
