someone to watch over me... - a photo on Flickriver

            A highly slid version of the iconic Norwegian lady statue on Virginia Beach,VA. The statue is a tribute to the lives lost in the 1891 wreck of the Norwegian barque Dictator. The ship ran aground during a storm off the sometimes treacherous waters off the beach. The pregnant wife and son of the ship's captain were tragically lost. The wooden masthead washed ashore and was displayed for many years until it was destroyed and lost during a hurricane. Later,a Norwegian sculpture created twin statues that are displayed on opposite sides of the Atlantic. The Norwegian lady watches over sailors guiding them to safe passage. 

In this snapseed edit,it would seem the lady has some help from above in her quest...Have a great sliders Sunday all!
