It is Norse Mythology Sunday! And here we have the god Thor in the dramatic moment when he has just caught Midgårdsormen, or Jörmungandr if you like, and is using his hammer Mjölner to slayer the sea serpent. You can find the sculpture, Tors fiske, made by Anders Wissler, in the fountain at Mariatorget on Södermalm in Stockholm, where it has been since 1903. No water in the fountain during the Winter, so I might go back come the Spring to show you that.

Nice statue in that fountain.
An appealing statue, Steffe, and I like the way you have centered it against the darker building behind it.
Impressive!
Cool statue and eye catching, sea serpent reminds me of our Maori Taniwha, perhaps the same thing but a different name.
