Long and Lanky

I saw this silver sculpture in front of a building which is part of the Technical Museum in Speyer. Size and form, yet not the stance nor the material, reminded me of a sculpture I’d seen in Munich.

Sometimes the Foxes’ Ears Go Missing

I had been wondering about this strange looking sculpture. A fox? Possibly. But the ears are not quite right.

Last time we passed this place in Michelstadt a small group of tourists were there with a guide and since we seemed interested we were invited to listen. The figure is indeed a fox, Reineke Fuchs to be precise, the title character of a medieval story which has been told again and again. Apparently every now and again the ears are broken off – the guide blamed local schoolkids – and everytime they are repaired they are little bit bigger than their predecessors, hence the unusual look.

Definitely more than six words this week but I just had to after Debbie’s photo and Queen Victoria’s missing finger.
