Mardelle gave me the idea when she asked about the "Go´dagen", or Torgkona as we usually call her here in Trondheim.
I love this statue. When I first posted a photo of it, a woman from Denmark commented and could tell that her grandmother´s sister had been the inspiration for it.
With Mardelle´s question in mind, I asked myself "I wonder how many statues there are in Trondheim?"
I guess that´s a hard question, but I can start taking pictures of them, make a special statues in Trondheim folder, and see what happens.
The statue of Olav Tryggvason is the main statue in Trondheim. Olav Tryggvason, the founder of the city, is standing there, high up, overlooking the marketplace and the whole city.
But there are so many more statues,
let´s start a game of counting,
and see how many we find in the end.......
Go´dagen stands on the south east corner of the market place, Olav Tryggvason in the middle. On the north east corner is an interesting statue. I have lived in Trondheim all my life, and must have passed this statue thousands of times. But somehow I have never actually seen it. Not until yesterday. It is called Water Music
Water Music is a fontaine, but as far as I can remember, I have never seen water playing in it.
Tordenskjold.......
The late King Olav V........
Hjallis.......
Arve Tellefsen.......
And this is only the beginning.
I wonder how many I will find.
Statues so far: 9
