🌊The Broken Mermaid🌊

Hey Steemians! It's me again and this time I am joining @customnature's photo contest called Abandoned Shit Weekly and this week's theme is black and white so here is my entry! 😂

This is The Little Mermaid statue and is a replica of the original Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark. This used to be so pretty when it was still new but the ocean has broken it down to just the torso and the tail.

This is what it looks like without the black and white filter. But even in this state people are still taking photos with it.

I searched around the internet for a picture of what it looked like before and here it is when it was still being maintained before the owner abandoned it. The whole park that it is in is called Sea Wall or Bay Walk or Queensland located in Davao City, Philippines. Just mention any of those three names or all of them and people here will understand where you mean. And also an interesting fact about The Little Mermaid Statue in Sea Wall is that it is actually a Pokemon gym in the popular mobile game Pokemon Go. 😂

As an added interesting thing there is also a monument there called The Grave of the Fishes and it's one of Pokemon Go's Pokestops:

But it was torn down I don't know for what reason. 😭

Great topic and pics for the contest. Hope you win this week. Good luck.

Was the other monument vandalized? Pokemon Go was just recent. Probably one of the hunters got frustrated for not finding any monsters lol! Too bad for the mermaid. I guess she finally went in for swim :)

I have no idea what happened to the other monument. I haven't been there for quite a while now. But I don't think it was a Pokemon Go player though. That monument was as thick as a tree. Hahaha. The mermaid still looks kinda picturesque though with just the tail. Hahahaha.

Interesting. Otherwise it might have been deliberate.
