They made it happen
This gilded tribute to the three men who made Birmingham great, – referred to alternatively as The Carpet Salesmen or The Three Wise Men – is the city’s thank you to James Watt, William Murdoch and Matthew Boulton. They certainly used a lot of gold.

Spring cleaning
Today was the first really decent spring day so I’ll just quickly slip in these wintery pictures. The first one is from the entrance to a swimming pond (still closed) – the biker sits on top of the hut where they sell sweets and ice cream. I will have a look out whether she changes clothes once it gets warmer.

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 p
hoto 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.
