#FotoVorschlag: Auf halber Höhe // Halfway up

Auf ziemlich genau halber Höhe an der #StJakobskirche in #Brünn (Brno) hängt diese #Drolerie. Um das unanständige Männchen, “Neslušný mužícek”, ranken sich Legenden rund um einen Streit zweier Kirchen, aber tatsächlich sind solche nackten Popos gar nicht so selten.

Halfway up the Church of St James in #Brno is this #drollery called "The Indecent Man". There are legends involving two rival churches around it, but in fact, such #grotesque adornments weren't uncommon.

In the early 2000s, these grotesques disappeared from the park and were eventually tracked down by the police to a garden in Castlemilk, just over the border in Glasgow, before being returned to their rightful home.

This Is My GlasgowApr 21

This rather brilliant grotesque is set into a wall in front of the former Superintendent's House in Overtoun Park in Rutherglen, just to the south of Glasgow.

It's one of three similar grotesques which are thought to have originally come from Overtoun House near Dumbarton. Lord Overtoun, who owned the house, donated the land on which Overtoun Park now stands to make up for the contamination from his White's Chemical Works.

Mindbogglingly tone deaf for a day like today.

I think I've had enough of American Grotesque for tonight....

Let's see if we can build a #BetterWorld tomorrow.

"Kilpeck is famous for the wealth of ebullient carvings left by the 11th-century masons; there are dozens of amusing, grotesque, and intricate carvings around the doors, windows, and roof line of the church. One of the finest small Norman churches in Britain." #grotesque #monstrous #stone #carving
