Every now and then one comes unexpectedly across a really strange creature.
This delightful critter is the creation of Kurt Halbritter and is called a barefooter (Barfüßer) or pedarius nudus peregrinatorum. Halbritter made sketches of the barefooter in the 1970s, and in 2016 Siegfried Böttcher made it into a bronze sculpture. It now stands and waits to surprise unsuspecting strollers in the Brentano Park in Frankfurt as part of several art objects titled “Comical Art”.

Although Brian wants no explanation but I am quite chuffed to mention that this is amaranthus retroflexus or redroot pigweed. That’s the last photo on the phone’s SD card.
I’ve been known to have popped amaranth in my müsli. Which is also true for grapes.
Last on my camera’s SD card.
