Statue of Leif Ericson
Image
Located in Juneau Park, the statue is on the right, on the edge of a steep hill. The hillside is lined with paths, and ends next to several railroad tracks and the lake. The train station is in the middle background, and the city line is barely visible behind it on the left. The figure is on a tall pedestal, turned from the viewer, with a hand holding a horn on his hip.
1915
