El Comandante Gorrión – Spatz Guevara

I found this bird in the German city of Ulm. Sparrows are the mascots of the city and are in evidence all over town but this one – El Comandante gorrión – perfect with the Cuban cigar in his beak “takes the bird” (the English expression “to take the cake” translates as “to shoot down the bird” in German which I found quite appropriate in the circumstance).  I should add that all the other sparrows carry sticks to build a nest rather than cigars.

Frogs? Aliens? Flossis?

· 2 Comments ·

These figures are apparently leftovers from an art installation and have been put up on this building in Düsseldorf in the harbour area next to the Rhine river.  They are called “Flossis” which refers to their fins which in German are called “Flossen”.  I wish I’d been on the other side of the river, closer to the building for a better photo.  But they definitely qualify for Cee’s Oddball Challenge.

Up where he belongs

I was sure I had posted a photo of this last week but I can’t find the entry anywhere.  So here I go (again?):

I saw this unidentifyable something on a roof far, far away … Actually, I only realised that this was a little guy sitting on top of a roof when I looked through my zoom lens.  I couldn’t get any nearer or shoot the manikin from a different angle.  I’m still intrigued by the question why he was put up there in the first place.  Definitely a contender for Cee’s Oddball Challenge.
