In various sizes.
A Great Disc
I remember seeing this sculpture in Darmstadt and I saw it as a geometric structure, a circle filled with cubic shapes. It is located in front of the Staatstheater at the Georg-Büchner-Platz. It’s called Grande Disco, by Arnaldo Pomodoro.
The landmark of Darmstadt can be seen in the middle, a pictorial rendering of the Hochzeitsturm (wedding tower) which is also called the Fünf-Finger-Turm (five finger tower). This tower is a superb example of art nouveau architecture, a work all by itself.

However, when I prepared this post and I looked at the thumbnail of the photo, i.e. a very small version of the photo, all I could see was a flower.
Twinning Towns, Twinning Art
This piece of art facing the renaissance castle of Hadamar was erect to honour the anniversary of the twinning of the town with Bellerive-sur-Allie in France.
The top part are weathered, broken pieces of wood, the bottom are bricks and sandstone rocks, some with messages scratched in, and bits and pieces baked in between, some sculpted like the mouse or the head, others found like the snail, the tile, the grip.
Animal Trios
Sergei, Aleksandr, and Yakov in their younger days?
The gang hangs out in the meadow.
The old hares having a chat.
The young leverets are frolicking in the grass.
Clerical Gold
Church buildings regularly have gold details. Often the clocks are gilded.
And the steeple tops reflect the sunlight in glorious gold.
But the Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Elizabeth in Wiesbaden is by far the most golden church I have ever seen:
