The Mermaids of Denmark

Everyone has heard of the famous Copenhagen Mermaid, it was commissioned bay Carl Jacobsen, the founder of Carlsberg Brewery.
On a recent visit to Denmark I found two others, one nearby in another dock and the other in Helsingør (Elsinore) near Hamlets Castle.
I attached a photograph of each one, is was difficult to get people free shots especially the first one without people crawling all over it.

I went to Denmark and only saw the original and, yes, it was difficult to take a photo with the crowds. I like that the updated appears to be on its own little island - interesting/unusual presentation of a mermaid. Thanks for sharing!

Here is the original image SOC, it's locally known as the Alien Mermaid.

The original mermaid is the only mermaid, #2 & 3 don't have a fishtail, so they are not really mermaids, JMO. Nice shots though.
