Photo no. 80

Four of these white men is sitting watching the ocean, in Esbjerg. I have visited them quite a few times now... but still go there if I am in the city..... like today.

"Man meets the sea"
The monument is 9 m high and made in white concrete by the Danish sculpturer Svend Wiig Hansen in 1995. The monument is also called "Four white men". It symbolizes man meting nature and can be seen from a distance of 10km. When you are standing at the feet of the four white men, you really feel small.

Svend Wiig Hansen was a Danish Expressionist Painter, 1922-1997.
