IN THE SHADOW OF A GIANT (OR THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE)

I am only an insignificant  eel on the edge of the water basin around the Poseidon sculpture group by Carl Milles in Gothenburg Sweden. 



It started out as a large basin with various sea animals and fantasy sea creatures. But the city big wigs wanted something more grand so they placed a giant in our midst, the Sea God Poseidon. So now people look only at that giant and they seldom notice us smaller creatures. 



Please take your time to look at us too!!
There is a lot going on.
This unfortunate eel gets eaten by a large fish!

What exactly is happening here?


And we are very interesting sea creatures too...
Something is definitely going on here...

OK, now you can look at the big dude if you must!
