I don’t know much about this woman. I know she stands in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. I know her creator doesn’t hold much with textiles. I guess she is made of bronze. But that’s it. I wonder how old she is. I wonder who created her. I wonder who she is or what she represents. But most of all I wonder what the belle she is doing.
I’ve been digging around in my archive. This statue of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh stands in front of the National Museum of Scotland. The most amazing thing about this photo was the reaction of KI. I asked google who this was (photo search). The answer was a description that it was the photo of a statue of a man, possibly in Edinburgh, “but no guarantees”. When I confirmed the information about the location in Edinburgh it stated that the man depicted was Prince Albert. First KI was humble, then with more information it was confidently wrong. A bit more searching and looking at various sculptures, I’m pretty sure that KI is wrong and I am right: it’s Sir William Chambers (incidentally in Chambers Street).

Kopfloser Engel / Headless angel in Bad Soden am Taunus, Germany Ragtag Daily Prompt: Transcendent
The town library of Ladenburg is a fine building in its own right. But I mainly like it because of the sculpture in front: a woman comfortably draped over the wall, engrossed in a book. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Libraries and bookstores
