“I recognise the lion by his paw.”

lion

Supposedly a quote by Swiss mathematician Jakob I. Bernoulli*. In this case, though, it should have been “her paw”.

*I couldn’t find a verification in German, his native tongue. He was born and raised in Basel, Switzerland.

More lions can be found here.

Fun with Flags Monuments

The top left photo was taken in Darmstadt, on the campus of the university.  The sculpture is called “Bedrohter II” (the threatened II) by Waldemar Grzimek.

The top right lion is one of several in the palace garden of Schloss Schwetzingen, in southwest Germany.

The bottom left p05hoto was taken in downtown Düsseldorf.  The sculpture is called “Auseinandersetzung” (fray, dispute) and is by Karl-Henning Seemann, who has erected the same two figures in three more towns in Germany.  Here is a photo of both figures – unfortunately it was raining which marred the photo (and it didn’t help that we were on our way back from sampling the local beer, either).

The last photo was taken in Berlin.  The two figures depicted are Karl Marx (sitting) and Friedrich Engels; the artist is Ludwig Engelhardt.
