GEFION FOUNTAIN - COPENHAGEN - Digital Photography
It is told that the goddess Gefion was given permission by the Swedish King Gylfe to plow an area in Sweden, and the land she managed to plow within one day and one night, she could use in any way she wanted. In order to get the most out of the opportunity she turned her four sons into oxen and put them in front of a great plough, and off they went. After that one day and one night was over, they had managed to get the earth needed to create the island of Zealand (on which Copenhagen is situated) in its present size. Where the earth was taken, the lake Vänern lies today. (Its shape is somewhat like that of Zealand.) All the earth Gefion put into Øresund, and lo and behold: Zealand rose out of the sound.
You seem to be a very wise person. Interested in learning and researching! It is nice to see that reflected in your work! Thanks for sharing the stories with the pictures, it makes it even more interesting!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice~Confucius
