Four side-by-side photos show a large Viking statue—celebrating Big Ole through the years—in various settings, holding a spear and shield, wearing a horned helmet, red cape, and yellow tunic against urban or snowy, tree-filled backgrounds.

New coats of paint were applied in 1985 and again in 1991. His beard was changed from gray to brown.
