A black-and-white photograph capturing a putto statue, viewed from behind, perched atop the Zwinger Palace in Dresden. The putto, possibly draped in flowing cloth, gazes down into the expansive courtyard below. The statue’s intricate details, including the folds of the drapery, are highlighted against the grand Baroque architecture of the palace. The courtyard features symmetrical buildings with arched windows, decorative balustrades, and statues, all framed by a dramatic, cloud-filled sky.

This image captures a breathtaking architectural view of the Zwinger Palace in Dresden, Germany. The photograph is taken from an ornate archway, framed by intricate Baroque sculptures and decorative balustrades. Two statues, one on each side of the arch, depict classical figures, adding to the grandeur of the scene.

Beyond the archway, a long, symmetrical pathway stretches into the distance, flanked by low walls and additional statues. The pathway leads the eye towards a stately building in the background, set against a vivid blue sky with scattered clouds. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the intricate details of the stonework, showcasing the elegance and opulence of Baroque architecture.

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. 😅

A tranquil winter forest scene, where a narrow, snow-covered staircase descends between two large boulders leaning against each other, creating a natural archway. The boulders are partially covered in moss and framed by snow-laden evergreen trees. The trail continues downward, disappearing beneath the archway, with the ground blanketed in snow and scattered brown leaves.

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).

A detailed view of the ornate stone carvings adorning the façade of the Zwinger Palace in Dresden. The image showcases intricately sculpted figures, each exhibiting dramatic expressions and dynamic poses. The figures, likely representing mythological or allegorical characters, are framed by elaborate Baroque architectural elements, including decorative scrolls and floral motifs. The craftsmanship highlights the grandeur and artistic richness of this historic palace, capturing the essence of its 18th-century architectural splendour.

The footpaths in #SaxonSwitzerland were something else, and they deserve a #FootpathFriday post of their own. 🥾🥾 With the snow and ice, some sections would have been impossible without those handrails.

This image captures a serene winter scene of a snow-covered pathway leading up a gentle incline. The pathway is bordered by metal railings, providing safety and support for those navigating the snowy terrain. At the top of the incline, a distinctive rock formation, partially covered in snow, stands prominently. The surrounding landscape features a mix of bare and evergreen trees, with a panoramic view of rolling hills and valleys in the background. The sky is overcast, adding to the tranquil and chilly atmosphere of the winter setting.

#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.

This image depicts a serene winter forest scene. Tall evergreen trees, dusted with a light layer of snow, dominate the foreground and background. The trees are densely packed, their branches heavy with snow, creating a tranquil atmosphere. In the mid-ground, a rocky outcrop, partially covered in snow, rises among the trees, adding texture and contrast to the scene.

#Schrammsteine for #MountainMonday, captured yesterday.

#SaxonySwitzland is like the Harz mountains on steroids – absolutely stunning! 🤩 With snow on top of ice, it got really slippery at times, but it was absolutely worth it.

This breathtaking winter landscape photograph captures a serene, snow-covered forest and rocky outcrops in a mountainous region. The scene is dominated by a blanket of snow, dusting the evergreen trees and accentuating the rugged, vertical rock formations that rise dramatically from the forest floor.

In the distance, rolling hills and additional rocky peaks stretch toward the horizon, their outlines softened by a light mist or haze. The sky above is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light over the entire scene and enhancing the tranquil, almost magical atmosphere. The snow-laden branches of the trees add texture and depth, while the untouched snow on the ground creates a sense of peaceful stillness.

A tranquil winter forest scene featuring striking sandstone rock formations, partially blanketed in snow. The tall, layered rock face dominates the centre, its rugged texture accentuated by patches of snow clinging to the ledges. Surrounding the formation, leafless trees and snow-dusted shrubs create a serene, wintry atmosphere. The ground is lightly covered in snow, with exposed rocks and roots peeking through. Bare branches frame the scene, adding depth and a sense of quiet isolation to the landscape.

Im #Ruhrgebiet entsteht mit #MTES eine neue Form der #Wärmespeicherung.

Ehemalige #Bergbauschächte sollen künftig überschüssige #Wärme aus dem Sommer speichern und im Winter nutzbar machen.

Die Technik nutzt porösen #Sandstein als Wärmespeicher, isoliert durch #Tonstein. Damit könnte ein Teil des Winterproblems der #Energiewende gelöst werden. Erste Pilotprojekte in Bochum laufen bereits.

Meilenstein auf unserer #Baustelle in #Dudweiler:
Gestern haben wir die sauschwere Maßwerkvierung montiert.
Turned out: wenn man es zu dritt hebt, ist es gar nicht mehr schwer.

ein Foto von dem Maßwerk am Nachbarfenster zeigt eine ältere Mörtelvierung.
an 'unserem' Fenster war bei diesem Teil aber der Stein so angegriffen, dass eine Reparatur aus neuem Stein sinnvoll war.
eine Vierung aus Stein ist eine dauerhafte Reparatur, die ebenso lange halten sollte, wie der Originalstein.

das ist die vorbereitete Maßwerkvierung aus Vogesensandstein - der sehr ähnlich ist zu dem Sandstein, aus dem die Kirche gebaut ist.

das Foto zeigt die Schablone aus einer Holzfaserplatte, mit der wir die Grundrisse des Maßwerks übertragen konnten.

Heute: Maßwerkteil vor geflext

ok - ich habe auch mit dem SDS-Max Bohrhammer nachgeholfen...

zwischendurch muss man ab und zu nochmal die Schablone drauflegen.

die Rückseite ist grob zugerichtet. Morgen kommt das Profil an die Reihe.

#FotoVorschlag: Sandige Angelegenheit // A sandy affair

Aus #Sandstein wird irgendwann #Sand. Vor allem, wenn Menschen tatkräftig mithelfen und es nicht lassen können, sich in dem weichen Stein zu verewigen. Hier ist der #Klusfelsen (bzw. ein kleiner Teil davon) bei Halberstadt im #Harzvorland.
//
#Sandstone turns into sand eventually. Especially when humans help along the process, because they just can't not scratch their names and messages into the soft stone. This is part of the Klusfelsen sandstone formation near #Halberstadt, at the foot of the Harz mountains.

A view from inside a sandstone cave or rock formation, looking outwards towards a bright, blown-out white sky through an irregular opening. The rough, ochre-coloured rock walls are heavily carved with graffiti, featuring various names, dates, and symbols. Sand covers the floor of the cave, and a large, dark green moss-covered boulder rests in the bottom right corner. A small piece of litter is visible on the sandy ground near the centre. The natural light highlights the textures and carvings of the ancient rock.

@IchMeine
Danke, das stimmt! Eigentlich wollten wir auch einen jungen Baum - also Stamm mit Krone...
Aber das kann der Steinmetz dann sicherlich besser - auch weil er seine technischen Möglichkeiten besser kennt...
Jetzt brauchen wir erst einmal die Zustimmung der Ulmer:innen und etwas Geld...

#Baum #Sandstein #Statue #Steinmetz #Ulmer #Ulmerinnen #Zustimmung

Man kann natürlich gleich auf den Johannisfriedhof oder den Rochusfriedhof in #Nürnberg gehen, wenn man historische #Epitaphien auf #Sandstein-Gräbern sehen will.

Gibt's aber auch in Kraftshof.
