Her place is on her horse
Rider and horse stand by the roadside, very unassuming. The size is deceptive as the figure is not even a metre high (discounting the pedestal). I couldn’t find anything about the artist.
Seen in Heiligkreuz, a village, little bigger than a hamlet, in the Odenwald.

A bit of (cosmic) fun
I had a lot of fun with the latest Cosmic prompt: abstract.
I’ll start off with a shot that was abstract from the start. Without any editing this is how it was recorded on my memory card in the camera:
Move on to a subject that is intentionally abstract like this sculpture of which I could not find any title or the name of the artist or anything, even after researching it on the internet:
And finally a perfectly ordinary close up of a flower rendered abstract by various filters in an editing program:

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.

Yes, but what does it mean?!
I have absolutely no idea about this sculpture. I saw it in a private garden, viewed from the street. No explanation. No one around whom I could ask. No possibility to have a closer look.

Divided and misaligned
Verspannte Teilung
Verspannte Teilung
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.
For One Word Sunday: Division.
Can I call you Sam?
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!
