What is in the background? What is represented by those tall white statues?
 
@snowleopard Fiskeri- og Søfartsmuseet (translated into Danish, it means "The Fisheries and Shipping Museum") is situated near the port and coast in Esbjerg, a medium-sized Danish town. The "tall white statues" are actually the landmark of the town, an artwork called "Mennesket ved Havet" ("Human at Sea", though the official English names are "Man Meets the Sea" or "Men at Sea"), and I think they're supposed to represent mankind's fascination with gazing at sea, though as with all artworks it's probably up for interpretation.

The tall cranes and scaffolds further into the background are part of the industry port. The rest are just small woods and lawns.
