•  Info Sculpture "Gud Fader på Himmelsbågen (God our Father on the Rainbow). Carl Milles designed this sculpture in 1946, as a monument for peace and a celebration of the creation of the United Nations. However, he only managed to produce a bronze model. 50 years later, Milles' former student, the American sculptor Marshall M. Frederics created the sculpture to its full size. I especially liked the fact, that the parabolic arc is half steel and half water.

•  Support I hope this will not, however, create another copyright-infringement case against WM-Sverige. Daniel Case (talk) 18:21, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 Comment I don't think so, unless they alter the law which actually states: "Work of art may be depicted if it is permanently placed on or at a public place outdoors." But thanks for the hint, I added the FoP Sweden tag. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 18:27, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 Comment Well, if they alter any copyright laws you will not be the only photographer who'll be miserable about it, Milles is sort of the best known sculpter in Sweden and his works are usually landmarks in major citeis. This is also why it's nice to see one of his works without crowds of people around it. It's very nice shot, but I miss the whole impact wave that the falling water creates as well as the last cornerstone of the fundament/pier to the right. Do you have a slightly wider crop of this? Milles' works are almost always not just the metal-thing but also the base and the area around the work. What we here refer to as "light and space". --cart-Talk 19:12, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 Done I recovered some space. Thanks for pointing out this. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 04:22, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 Comment - I'm fine with the new version, but you need to ping everyone who voted for the previous version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:33, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm fine with it too; that only leaves @Daniel Case: , @ArionEstar: , and @W.carter: , though she's most likely watching this already. INeverCry 07:17, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks! (and quite right INC^^) Now the artwork can be viewed as it was intended, I think Milles himself would have been very pleased with this photo. cart-Talk 08:35, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
