St. George and the Dragon

This is a copy of the 15th century statue which is inside the Cathedral of Stockholm, called Storkyrkan.
I don't always feel comfortable to take picture inside churches. I have preferred to shot the copy of the statue situated in the charming squares of the Old Town, Köpmantorget!
The original statue is carved from oak and elk horn. Many Stockholm residents believe this statue symbolizes Sweden's need to struggle against evil.
