andreas_holmstr_m 0 Posted March 18, 2004 The staute silhuetted here is Finlands war hero "Fältmarshalk" Mannerheim. He led the Finnish forces in WW II against the Sovjet Union. It's amazing that such a small nation as Finland could do so well against the Sovjet Union. All Finns feel a sense of patriotism when confronted with the Mannerheim Statue across the Finnish Parliament along the "Mannerheim Road". This image displays Mannerheims statues shadow agains the Museum of Modern Art in Helsinki, the capital that all Finnish soldiers fought so bravely to defend, agains the Bear from the East. Taken a February afternoon, at f1.8. I waited for the silhuette to move towards the red windows, as a marker of the blood spilled. I love your comments, wish more of you guys would wright a comment. I will not accept any ratings under 3/3 without an explanation, and will see this as ABUSE! Thank you all! Link to comment

andreas_holmstr_m 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Thanks! I just like to ad that the image is scanned from slide fim, but not manipulated. I took this image to honour Mannerheim thus all the finnish soldiers, as well as the Horse, the finnish tank. Link to comment
