Artistic lines

This is a fountain in Munich, the Spitzweg-Brunnen on the Stephansplatz.  It was created by Konstantin Frick in 1979 and takes its name from the romantic artist Carl Spitzweg, whose tomb is in a cemetery close by.  Apparently, he often painted fountains although I wonder if he would have painted this one.

I’ve had it in my archive for a while, I just didn’t know what to do with this odd blob. But lines it has.

Say it with signs

Car number plates are signs and in Germany they (sometimes) make words.  I’ve been collecting them and here are all words I found on cars from F for Frankfurt.

I want to stay

Gallimaufray on Thursday

· 8 Comments ·

So far I’ve only used “gallimaufry” (a chance find in a dictionary) as a title for a few of the Sunday colour collages for Aino’s Värikollaasit but now that I have actually heard it used in a Dr Who episode (in one of the first episodes with Peter Capaldi as the Doctor – I’m a bit behind in watching) I will use it more often for any hodgepodge collection for which I can’t find a unifying title.

Northern Bald Ibis Waldrapp

Since the scarlet ibis was hiding a bit, here is a hadeda ibis with its stately gait and glossy colours.

Kusins

Those two are best of friends, not related but looking it. A symbiotic relationship that is great to watch.

I managed five out five for Paula’s Thursday Special: Pick a Word in October.  Find more stately shacks symbiotic with scarlet marshes here.
