Die florale Ornamentik ist in der Bildhauerei zeit- und kulturübergreifend.
Eine Lieblingsblume in Stein umzusetzen ist jedoch immer wieder aufs Neue eine künstlerische Herausforderung, die den Stein zu einer ganz persönlichen Erinnerungsort macht.
Hier war es die #Ranunkel - von der Blüte her ist sie in Stein schwierig so umzusetzen, dass sie vom Rosenornament zu unterscheiden ist. Deshalb haben wir uns ein Blumenbeet als Motiv vorgenommen, in dem auch die Blätter stark zur Geltung kommen dürfen.

Break a leg for #FootpathFriday the 13th 🤞

I met three British tourists at this spot, trying to navigate this part of the #trail in jeans and trainers. They were debating whether to turn around and take the bus instead. I told them it's a beautiful route, but there are plenty of sections just as slippery as this one. The fittest of them took a tumble, and after seeing that, the others decided to slide down the steps on their bums instead. I didn't stick around to see if they turned back, as I was heading toward the #Bastei rock formation in the opposite direction. Either way, climbing back up those steps would have been quite the challenge. 😅

Some #art and sophistication for today's #TongueOutTuesday and #Toothday, if you will. 🧐 These #sculptures adorn the #Zwinger Palace in #Dresden. There are loads of #statues and sculptures here, each uniquely expressive, so you'll be seeing more of them at some point. 😅
Of course, most have been restored, but around 150 of the 500 sculptures on the façades and roofs of the palatial complex are originals, making them 300 years old (though not these gentlemen).

#FotoVorschlag: Im Nirgendwo // In the middle of nowhere

Im Sommer ist hier wahrscheinlich Hochbetrieb, aber um diese Zeit ... Ich habe noch nie so laute Stille erlebt wie hier. Kein Verkehrsrauschen, kein Windpfeifen, keine Tiere, keine Menschen. Einfach nur Stille.

In summer, this place is probably bustling, but right now … I've never experienced such profound silence. No traffic noise, no wind, no animals, no people. Just pure stillness.
