nice capture!
ReplyDeleteA contrast to yesterday's but equally interesting
ReplyDeleteHopefully nobody. :-) gabi
ReplyDeleteHmm, looks like he had too much beer.
ReplyDeleteThat stone thingy has a hideous face and an unfinished body. It looks quite sinister! I guess it was used for a terrifying purpose.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite interesting! How many and how old are they?
ReplyDeleteA chubby man with no arms I guess. ;-}
ReplyDeleteis he smiling or grinning??
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments.
ReplyDeleteflyingstars: Thanks.
Joan Elizabeth: Variety is the spice of life.
Gabi: Not someone you would like to meet?
Martina: No coincidence, then, that he is only metres away from the Abbey Brewery.
Buenos Aires: Maybe, he was meant to encourage the workers to do their quota of quartz grinding. Maybe, he lost his arms when he did not fulfill his quota.
JM: There were about five old rusty bits of machinery in the bushes. Not all were of this form. I have no idea of their age. Next time I go to Mettlach, I will visit the ceramics exhibition. Maybe, I will be wiser then.
Don and Krise: Now immortalised.
ical: I am not sure how to judge his expression at all. Vacantly drunk might be the best description.
