Re: Central European Lines
Then we found the way towards parkland of the town.Here there is a small example of the love of the Germans for the Greek and Latin antiquity:a like Greek temple construction on which is a Latin inscription-"the source of the Danube was decorated by The German Emperor Wilhelm II....the grandson of The Great Wilhelm"-.

Re: Central European Lines
The plants and the animals are not endlessly.So a stainless steel tree-near metallic giraffe- could be the solution for the Germans...whose love for the well done things is known(:))

Re: Central European Lines
Although the access at the palace and its garden was "verboten"(forbidden),with the help of the giraffe's method I took an image over the fence.

Here,in Donaueschingen there are two rivers -Breg and Brigach- which are noted because they gave up their identities to get Danube.

Re: Central European Lines
In the art,allegory was always "a la mode". The woman could be "das Mutterland" (the mother-county) where the two rivers(the two children) get Danube.The "innovation" was the iron plate like temporary cover,probably:).

Re: Central European Lines
One of the inhabitants of this town was not too pleased with our presence.

So,we decided to leave this town before to get as tired as this man looking for the Danube spring.

Re: Central European Lines
Nicely done, you could barely get it all in frame.
Re: Central European Lines
No gaze to this former hospital which was the Stanislas Leszcyinski's palace - a king of Poland whose daughter was the wife of Louise XV of France(he had two well known mistresses,Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry:):))
