There is scientific evidence that the diversity in human faces came about as an evolutionary advantage.
Hurra! Hurra! Der Kobold mit dem roten Haar!
This Kobold is known to children in Germany since the 1960s. His name is Pumuckl and he lives with a carpenter in Munich. He first appeared in a successful children’s radio series in the early sixites, and shortly thereafter there were books about him. He became a lot more famous with his own tv series in the 1980s – it was filmed with live actors and Pumuckl was drawn in as a cartoon and voiced by a famous German actor, Hans Clarin. Many famous German actors appeared in the series and the series has aged well.
He even has an English wikipedia entry: Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl
I crocheted this a few years back for our grandson. And here is a mural – Pumuckl loves to turn up at playgrounds:
The Most Gracious Goddess
Amongst the Greek gods, Hestia seems to be the most gracious to me. Sister of Zeus and the firstborn of the Olympians, she had few temples of her own yet she was worshipped by all. She never pushed herself to the fore. She guarded the house and hearth and never letting the fire go out was a way of paying homage to her – thus being more present in the life of every Greek than the more high and mighty members of her family.
This photo of her is a sculpture on top of the rotunda of Biebrich Palace in Wiesbaden – one of twelve statues that look down on the River Rhine.
