Mathilde or Marianne?
This mural tells a story from the time of the German revolutionary upheavals 1848/49. It can be found in Kirchheimbolanden opposite the old town wall. Unfortunately, it has fallen into a state of decay and urgently needs reparation works.
This is the mural seen from above, standing on the town wall.
A detail with Mathilde Hitzfeld (a young woman who fought on the side of the revolutionaries for freedom and democracy), almost like a German Marianne (the symbolic figure of the French Revolution).
The state of disrepair can be seen with this singular figure, a few metres away from the mural, missing hand an all.

Go, go! Only twenty more to go!
On Sunday, there is the next Frankfurt half marathon. These are photos from last year’s race.
The roads are blocked off for the runners. Cars and police men on motorbikes clear the road just ahead of the runners.
The front runners are so fast, they are difficult to catch on camera.
Some seem to fly over the surface.
The first few hundred runners take little notice of anything around them, they just concentrate on the road.
The slower runners seem to have a lot more fun, smiling and sometimes even joking amongst themselves.
Some even acknowledge the cheering spectators and groupies on the side of the road.
And just before the end, well deserved nourishment and reward (aka: beer) is handed out to a selected few to help them over the finishing line.

Appreciation
For A Photo A Week, in honour of Women’s Day.
I’ve used the photo before (and the artworks – these are actually two separate installations – have completely different themes). This is what the almost unprocessed photo looks like:
