  3. The color of the leaves is really set off by the turquoise blue. Love the blue statue. What's it made of? It has such a brilliant sheen to it in the photo.

    I hope "he" smiles at you, in your dreams. ;-)

    Elizabeth:
    That Virginia Creeper is a sure harbinger of autumn approaching. ;-)

    Allie:
    Porcelain clay, glazed,
    I would guess. During World War II, six of the original Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) vases (or amphores) werde destroyed. The missing five have only recently been recreated according to the 1899 plans by Friedrich Ohmann.

  5. What a dramatic wall, and all the more so with your angles.

  6. Love the angles and the drama of your photographs. The color is so amazing, Merisi! I wish I could take photographs that well. I hope you are having a good Monday or will it be Tuesday by the time you read this?

  8. Thank you, tut-tut! :-)

    Vickie,
    thank you! :-)
    It's raining here today,
    and I am very busy,
    but otherwise fine.
    (Still Monday here. Yeah!)

    Bridget,
    I agree!
    I try to walk wherever I have to go, and instead of taking shortcuts, I take the long route, if time allows. ;-)

  9. Your photos have so much drama to them, from the delicate flowers, the passive sculpture to the agitated blue figure. A fascinating series.

  11. Please, please tell me the temperature is dropping and I will really experience autumn this year, even if it is just for a week. Two and half weeks and counting!

  12. Autumn has already started here!

    I really love that middle photo - not seen many blue statues but what a lovely colour it is and what a marvellous expression it carries.

  20. Ah, pretty, pretty! I agree with all the face-love. :-)

    We're having a full-out bout of Indian summer here - September has been lightyears more warm and lovely than August was. For a few more days at least.
