Walking Man

The Walking Man walks in Munich alongside the Leopoldstraße. I have to add non-square photos of the sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky to do it justice, though.

The photos were taken on the same day but taken from different sides excluding or including the greenery which makes for a completely different perspective.

A devil’s point-of-view

Yesterday I was looking up, today I am looking down.

Our group was on a hike and we had a break at the Teufelsfels (devil’s peak) which is crowned by a tower called Langer Heinrich (long Henry). The mayor who was influential in having the tower built in 1985 was called Heinrich Heimfahrt – I wonder why they didn’t use his last name for the tower, it means literally “the drive home”. Which is what we did soon after.

But not before changing the perspective completely and looking out over the Hunsrück, the low mountain range stretching towards Luxembourg.

Up, up and away

Originally I wanted to start off with this shot. I love the vibrant colours and that they almost look as if the umbrellas are flying freely in the sky. So I was tempted to do this:

Are you a pig person?

Dogs look up to us. 

Cats look down on us.

Winston Churchill is credited with this insight. And the conclusion he drew from it was: “I like pigs.”

Which perspective do you prefer?

Not just what, also how

This bodes well for the coming month: I had my first square post all set up and decided at the last minute to change it.

For the first square with the theme perspective I thought a juxtaposition of two perspectives would illustrate not just the perspective of the photographer but of her subject as well. Hand-pedalling bicycles are not uncommon these days, it may be a matter of choice but for this cyclist it is a necessity since he is a paraplegic.

I am so looking forward to all the different perspectives I will encounter this month. Yeah! for squares, perspectives, and Becky!
