A fountain in Warnamunde

I am currently indexing some of my old photographs and I found this 2012 image of the little people in Warnamunde. We went there for half a day when the cruise ship stopped in Rostock.

The sculpture is actually a fountain. This fountain is unique in that it’s not a spouting fountain. The fountain is linear and water runs alongside a procession of 19 bronze figures. The sculpture is based on an actual practice in Warnemunde. The citizens, dressed in their finery, walked together to the tax office to pay their taxes. They wanted to make it a happy event. The website says this event still takes place in Warnemunde. It reminded me of the borrowers, hence “the little people in Warnamunde”. Click here for more details

Christmas Market in Dusseldorf

By cpadmin

Three images from the Christmas Market in Dusseldorf this year. The atmosphere was enchanting, particularly in the evenings when it was busiest. Bands of musicians were playing, the stalls were lit up and everyone was friendly. I particularly like the image of the dog who was on his hind legs to see the customers. The detail on the Christmas decorations are amazing. You can find more information about the markets at https://happytowander.com/dusseldorf-christmas-markets-guide/
