Small distances or longer distances, the look is down.

A Roman Picked the Spot
About 8 km from the Roman military encampment Lopodunum (which later became Ladenburg, a town halfway between Mannheim and Heidelberg in the Upper Rhine Valley) one of the Romans decided to built a villa rustica. This is the view due south, Lopodunum would be a … Continue reading A Roman Picked the Spot
Clouds Gathering

Stop the Presses!

As Swift as an Arrow
The Lunabrunnen (fountain of Luna) is a landmark in the town of Lüneburg. It’s a bronze statue of the goddess Luna on top of a fountain. This renaissance statue seems slightly confused: Luna (or her Greek equivalent Selene) was a godess associated with moonlight, beauty, and fertility; Diana (or Artemis) is the goddess usually depicted with bow and arrow as she is the goddess of the hunt associated with virginity, fortitude, and nature. Yet there is a connection between the two and even in mythology the boundaries between both are not clear cut. This little statue (just over 60 cm tall) almost made it in my Naturally Monochrome gallery for Monochrome Madness today – since she didn’t, I swiftly entered her here.

Surprise Find
Looking for my photos to find something to post for “rock” and “circle” I realised for the first time that I had taken the same piece of art on two separate occasions. And I think someone didn’t realise that this was supposed to be art. … Continue reading Surprise Find

Painted Window Frames
I wrote last week that Bavarian window seem to be all about shutters but that seems not to hold true for downtown Bad Tölz. I saw a lot of painted window frames. The blueish grey house has the inscription Bader, i.e. barber-surgeon; the cream coloured … Continue reading Painted Window Frames
