Gotland's Serigarden
Yesterday's article on summer homes on Gotland resulted in my reviewing our photos from a visit to that island in 2007. One of the silliest, yet charming, places we visited was Serigarden. It is the work of one man and his son who together created a garden of whimsical colorful characters. Some of the statues are based on storybook "stars" others just a product of imagination. I don't have a photograph but remember that there was one statue of a mermaid with rather large bare breasts. Peter had joked that the father spent extraordinary amount of time on that one siting the need for perfection as he crafted the breasts! It was quite silly and quite fun. I guess, as a lover of primitive art, I was especially enamored with this destination. If you are heading to Gotland this summer I suggest you stop in!
