Friday My Town: Fishing Day

Hey, there’s a fish in my bathtub!

More than one, actually.

One Saturday a few weeks ago we could see these fish in a big tub in the Town Square in connection with an environment theme day. They were bred at a fish-farm to be put out in a lake or river.

I will be taking a break from the Picture Book blog for a while. Explanation to be found at my other blog Beyond the Lone Islands. In the next few weeks I’m more likely to turn up on that blog than here. I had this post half-prepared though, having “saved” these pictures especially for the fishy FMTSO theme… ;)

Frogs on Frock + Funny Sign

I keep getting back to this one, but it was quite a funny story.
The name of the sculpture is “Cloned Frogs on Gala Dress”.
It was put in the park for a Sculpture Festival,
but the children took it for a climbing toy…
It also got intentionally sabotaged (not so funny),
sent away for repair, and then put in a safer place.
With that sign added: Do not climb!
(What does it look like the frogs are doing?)

On top of all, the sculpture was given away, but kept.
Without leaving town, it was dedicated as a wedding gift to the
Crown Princess Victoria and her “man of the people” husband, now
Prince Daniel. Who in his speech at the wedding dinner said that
“it took more than one kiss to turn him into a prince”…

A Fishy Ice Sculpture

An ice sculpture in the town square has become a tradition.
This year a fish. Last year it was a polar bear.
