Triton for #StatueSaturday. He's part of the #Stuhlmannbrunnen fountain in Altona. The massive fountain (7.5 metres (25 ft) tall) was inaugurated in 1900 and depicts two centaurs battling for a fish, surrounded by sea creatures splashing water at them (with Triton among them). The centaurs are said to represent #Altona and #Hamburg, symbolising their rivalry for dominance in the fishing industry. Altona was once the German (and even European) "fishing capital" in the early 20th century and often clashed with neighbouring Hamburg. Imagine the horror of the people of Altona when their independent borough was absorbed into Hamburg in 1938 without prior notice!

By the late 20th century, the fountain had fallen into disrepair and was rarely used due to a lack of funds. It eventually became so damaged that it was closed off entirely. In the 1990s, a deal was struck with a local brewery: they donated funds for its restoration, and in return, they were permitted to cover the Altona Town Hall with beer advertisements for several weeks.

A close-up of a hauntingly expressive bronze statue, depicting a gaunt, emaciated figure with exaggerated facial features. The figure’s wide, hollow eyes and open mouth evoke a sense of anguish or desperation. Its bony hands clutch what appears to be a rock, adding to the dramatic and eerie atmosphere. The statue’s patina is a mix of green and dark hues, suggesting age and exposure to the elements. The background is softly blurred, with the silhouettes of bare trees, enhancing the statue’s striking and somber presence.

#StatuenSamstag

A bronze statue of a figure stands on a stone pedestal in an urban setting. The figure wears a long, loose-fitting garment, a hat, and holds a long-handled tool in one hand while the other rests on the hip. The pedestal has a lower stone section with moss and an upper section with green patina. Behind the statue, there is a modern building with numerous rectangular windows (red and white trim), a smaller tiled building with visible graffiti, and a paved area with a metal railing. To the left, part of an orange object and a light post are visible.

Frère André. You can also see his preserved embalmed heart if you visit Saint Joseph's oratory while you're here. Today is Sunday but I took the photo on Saturday.

Looking up from the base of a bronze statue of frère André, on a snowy night. There's a light covering of snow on his head and shoulders and forearms. And just enough snow accumulated between his lips that it looks he's baring his teeth at us.

Oma met kleinkind. Grandma with grandchild. This bronze statue stands on the Markt square in Doesburg, the Netherlands, and was created by Theo Renirie. He died in 2016. Unfortunately two of his other bronze statues were stolen.
I was immediately touched by this statue. Perhaps because I'm a grandmother myself?
