Suspension

The treetop walk in Bad Wildbad includes a suspension bridge, 380m long and almost 60m above the ground (give or take a little, “depending on the amount of people on it” as the website points out). One Word Sunday

As Swift as an Arrow

The Lunabrunnen (fountain of Luna) is a landmark in the town of Lüneburg. It’s a bronze statue of the goddess Luna on top of a fountain. This renaissance statue seems slightly confused: Luna (or her Greek equivalent Selene) was a godess associated with moonlight, beauty, and fertility; Diana (or Artemis) is the goddess usually depicted with bow and arrow as she is the goddess of the hunt associated with virginity, fortitude, and nature. Yet there is a connection between the two and even in mythology the boundaries between both are not clear cut. This little statue (just over 60 cm tall) almost made it in my Naturally Monochrome gallery for Monochrome Madness today – since she didn’t, I swiftly entered her here.
