Inexplicable pair

I really love this sculpture because it displays such intimacy.

But the weird – or poignant – thing about it is that I found it in a cemetery. No explanation given. Maybe it was to celebrate an undying love, maybe the artist was buried here with one of his favourite pieces … who knows.

Divided and misaligned

Verspannte Teilung, a bronze sculpture in Michelstadt im Odenwald.  It’s open to interpretation. If you put a sphere  in a vice and misalign the pieces, you end up with a distorted globe.Verspannte Teilung

Mark Twain

I couldn’t find any evidence that Mark Twain was ever in Lüneburg, although he spent a considerable amount of time in Germany.  But now he sits next to the river Ilmenau in the middle of town and is open to any kind of discussion you would like to have with him.

What an inspiration an exchange with the man can be!

but first sleep

I’ve used this group before.  It’s a sculpture of, I think, eight sleepers.  There is space to sit next or opposite them but I don’t think living people can really relax close to them.

Ölberg

This is part of a group depicting the night in the garden Gethsemane when all the disciples fell asleep while Jesus prayed.

The way animals sleep, one can only be envious.

And what do turtles dream of?

Cats of course, are champion sleepers.  This one slept next to a busy road and had made this flower pot his own.  A potted cat, so to speak.

It doesn’t look comfortable but it must be – at the moment this is our cats favourite place for a snooze.

opposites

And this picture is – for me – pure bliss.  Falling asleep while reading a book …  without the dummy, for preference though.
