Grand-Pré is a Canadian rural community in Kings County, Nova Scotia. Its French name translates to “Great/Large Meadow” and the community lies at the eastern edge of the Annapolis Valley. The community was made famous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem Evangeline and is today home to the Grand-Pré National Historic Site. On June 30, 2012, the Landscape of Grand-Pré was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This sculpture, by artists Jules LaSalle and André Fournelle, depicts an Acadian family during the Deportation of thousands of Acadians from their ancestral homeland between 1755 and 1763.

The Victory Column and Hansa Quarters. The Victory Column is a monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Second Schleswig War.
Wonderful postcards! It was so long ago I was in Denmark I can’t picture seeing the Little Mermaid, but I don’t think my parents would pass through Copenhagen without seeing her! I must have a photo.
I thought the Canadian one was just a whimsical family walk through the woods at first glance but no a great way to show a darker story in human terms.

I remember being rather disappointed that the Little Mermaid was so… little!
Newgrange has been on my list for a long time.

Very iconic statues and monument. We should have expected the Little Mermaid appearing in Thursday Postcards Hunt, of course 🙂
