Thanks for that picture @user_not_found
. I have been there.
The sculpture is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, the small and unimposing statue is a Copenhagen icon and has been a major tourist attraction since its unveiling in 1913. In recent decades, sadly, it has become a popular target for defacement by vandals and political activists.
thanks @user_not_found
great click thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing @user_not_found
! I used to go see the little mermaid a lot when I was a kid.
Sadly as @Johnny11 mentioned, the statue has been subject to vandalism a number of times, including the head being sawed of not only once, but twice!
The small space in front of the statue is almost always full of tourists, especially from Asia. I hear that many tourists are quite disappointed because of the size of the statue.
How did you like your visit?
I know that feeling @user_not_found
very nice shot of Little mermaid since the place it is usually crowded
and once again thank you @MortenSI your post was really helpful and the weather was fine !!!
P.s. the shared link is the specific moment of the little mermaid but instead showing up my complete Google maps profile @MortenSI sorry it is not my fault (anyway please scroll down a little and you will find her !)
@MortenSI it was a nice visit. There were lots of tourists even when I went here. But there are also many rocks where you can walk and where many tourists don’t go. From there you can have a better view and mostly, take pictures without capturing tourists.
I’m so glad to hear that my post was of good use to you @user_not_found
, I hope you had a great trip.
I’m surprised you avoided rain entirely, that doesn’t happen very often.
Yes it seems there are tourists surrounding the little mermaid all year around @user_not_found
, but good to hear that you found a way around them.
What else did you see in Copenhagen?
Good vibes exist my friend @MortenSI
@user_not_found
there is also a place in Busan S. Korea that has a similar figure.
@user_not_found
