Think that 'The Winner Takes It All' isn't appropriate for this situation, because this image shows a rather different situation. I guess however that this marathon runner never will win a race, ☺ .

I've seen and captured this sculpture on the sea front of the village of Zoutelande, situated on the west coast of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

A tad manic to me, so it's my entry for Manic Monday.

I like to think he is just crossing the finishing line ahead of everyone :)
I had forgotten how YOUNG Abba were :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

It's a beautiful sculpture with wonderful flowing lines Mr. C. - especially nice against the deep blue sky.

I love the concentration on his face, as he strides across the finish line, and for me he won! Mr. C. not only is this a super MM post, but the details and that terrific background of blue is excellent.. I always enjoyed the music of ABBA! tigs=^..^=

This perspective is great as the runner is elevated. He seems to wears ancient looking attire , ancient Greeks come to mind.

Very poignant in that there is emotion expressed in this sculpture. He's focused on winning. Good one.
