A Great Disc
I remember seeing this sculpture in Darmstadt and I saw it as a geometric structure, a circle filled with cubic shapes. It is located in front of the Staatstheater at the Georg-Büchner-Platz. It’s called Grande Disco, by Arnaldo Pomodoro.
The landmark of Darmstadt can be seen in the middle, a pictorial rendering of the Hochzeitsturm (wedding tower) which is also called the Fünf-Finger-Turm (five finger tower). This tower is a superb example of art nouveau architecture, a work all by itself.
However, when I prepared this post and I looked at the thumbnail of the photo, i.e. a very small version of the photo, all I could see was a flower.
Give It a Rest!
Yes, that’s a resting bitch face. No annoyance or irritation. Unless –
it’s about the small rest of wine in the glass.
Look, it’s him –
and he is Karl Gottfried Nadler, a poet who wrote in the local Heidelberg vernacular. He was a good looking man judging from the scultpture.

Cephalopods
On my recent bike trip I came across a so-called “Skulpturenpark” in Bad König im Odenwald.
It’s an untidy plot of land next to an industrial site in the back of the local spa garden. There are quite a lot of sculptures scattered over the plot, most of them are quite whimsical, in three or four distinctive styles and by as many artists, I think.
It Must Be All the Wine
The people living in the Rheinland, the area on both sides of the middle section of the river Rhine, are said to be jolly, fun-loving, and generally full of joie de vivre. In Koblenz they have a sculpture of two people illustrating a well-known verse of a regional writer who wrote hunourous poems.
a market-woman 
a policeman
The verse is written on a plaque on the ground:
The market-woman to the officer: "Believe me I'm patient but My husband has been peed on by our neighbour's mutt."
