Photos for Lens-Artists Last Chance Challenge. Not necessarily worse than other photos – they just couldn’t find their niche. Oh, look! A sculpture of my brain! Diana deserves an appearance because I have shown her ravished face and figure before – but she has had … Continue reading Odds and Ends
I’ve taken photos from various angles of this odd sculpture, even with some editing to coax out the form but this is the best I’ve managed. It stands in the middle of a roundabout near a local brewery called Welde. The brewery has very unique … Continue reading The Weird World of Traffic Circle Art
So what do I know? To me – that’s a cello. And if you had my fingers you’d pluck it, too, rather than using a bow.
Every now and then one comes unexpectedly across a really strange creature.
This delightful critter is the creation of Kurt Halbritter and is called a barefooter (Barfüßer) or pedarius nudus peregrinatorum. Halbritter made sketches of the barefooter in the 1970s, and in 2016 Siegfried Böttcher made it into a bronze sculpture. It now stands and waits to surprise unsuspecting strollers in the Brentano Park in Frankfurt as part of several art objects titled “Comical Art”.

That one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape.

Fences make for good neighbours. Chatting over a fence is a time honoured pastime. It has the advantage that it keeps the opponents separate.
Fences can also have an important purpose. It can keep toads from being squashed by cars when they have the unsquashable urge to get to the pond were they were spawned. It makes them wait until they are collected and carried over the road.
The fence may be rusty but it is collecting new dummies from toddlers who want to give up an outgrown habit.
Fences can be overcome, sometimes only partially. It depends on the temptation on the other side.
Of course, there are always masters of the art.

My trusted Wynora Rider (my bike) went in for a service yesterday and I collected her in the evening. My way home leads past an overgrown patch of land. I know the creature that lives there, hiding behind plants. But when it is getting dark … Continue reading Beware what May Be Lurking in the Weed Patch
