Even closer, and now in portrait:
And once again, on a different day:
Although the subject lends itself to a portrait format because of the spire I prefer the first and second shot (the second more than the first).
This is for Paula’s Thursday’s Special with the given task once over. Okay, it was a few more than that. More different looks on the same subject can be found here.

This is the “tobacco fountain” in Lorsch, Germany. Tobacco was cultivated in the area since the late 17th century; in 1949 2000 people worked in the tobacco industry (out of a population of 6000) but after the second world war it declined rapidly and the last factory closed in 1993. The fountain shows a worker threading tobacco leaves so they could be hung up to dry. Contrasting her busy work are a child and cat, both busy playing with marbles, while the modern day tourists in the background are busy relaxing.
