These stones are made for walking
Various cobblestones in Germany, from Schwetzingen, Weinheim, Mainz, and the last one from Durham, UK.
And these are special pavement stones, so called “Stolpersteine” (stumbling stones) commemorating men and women who have been deported to concentration camps during the persecution of Nazi Germany. More information on this art project can be found here.
This is a contribution to Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge, asking for “bricks or stones”.
a round of applause
Most flowers are round by definition, the petals, the leaves, even when jagged have no straight angles. These arrangements use curves and round elements to showcase the flowers.
These flowerbeds were created for the national garden exhibition in Brandenburg, Germany, in 2016 (Bundesgartenschau). They show examples of how graves can be planted, and nurseries from all over Germany had small, grave-sized plots showing examples of their work. Because of the spacial limitations the displays are miniatures with every plant, every petal displayed to perfection. In fact, I saw gardeners working on the arrangements with little nail scissors clipping leaves for optimum effect.
This is for The Daily Post and more photos with the topic of rounded can be found here.
There’s a rumble in the jungle … gym

For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge where you can find more photos with subjects which contain the letter j and are at least 6 letters long.
Playground art
These murals are from a playground. They were created by youngsters, aged 15-17, from the local community and their twinned town in France (Hemsbach / Bray-sur-Seine), under the guidance of two artists, Motz Tietze and William Noblet.

The good ones go in the pot
The prompt for Tourmaline’s challenge reads: “If you want to share a literal image of the actual word, do that. But if you’d rather play with word association, post something that reminds you of the specific word, or something you use the word for, do so. It only has to make sense to you.”
Here is my offering for the prompt “lense”.
(Hint: If you speak German you’ll understand. – “Die guten ins Töpfchen”)
