In 1908, the Düsseldorf-based Central-trade-ssociation for Rhineland, Westphalia and neighbouring districts praised a competition for a fountain in front of the Düsseldorf Art Palace.
As a "figurative representation of the iron industry and the mining industry," it was to be sent to the 1902 on the site on the banks of the Rhine (then Kaiser Wilhelm Park, now Rheinpark) the industrial and commercial exhibition was held.
Among the 44 designs submitted, the jury, which was prominently occupied by the painter Fritz Roeber, the painter Georg Oeder, the architect Wilhelm Kreis and the Düsseldorf garden director Walter von Engelhardt, was Prize awarded, so also do not recommend a design for execution. It was initially planned to give the authors of the shortlisted drafts the opportunity to revise them in a second stage of competition (a closer competition).
The fountain was built in its original form between 1911 and 1913. While the Düsseldorf architect Gotthold Nestler designed the actual well complex, the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier created the three bronze figures "Schmied Vulkan," "Bergmann" and "Hüttenarbeiter." Miner and cottage worker are depicted in the loincloth. The bronze casting of the figures took place at the Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer.
On the occasion of the opening of the Grand Art Exhibition in 1913, the industrial fountain in front of the former Art Palace was inaugurated. In 1925 the fountain was dismantled there because of the extensive new buildings at the Ehrenhof.
In 1939, the three sculptures were erected in a new facility on Fürstenplatz in Friedrichstadt. In 1942 the figures were to be melted down as metal donations by the German people for armaments and were removed. However, they remained intact, and in 1950 they were restored.
I was stood in a ditch to get this shot, I was looking mostly at the woodland in the background but the stick resting at the base of the tree next to me grabbed my attention. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.

Changed the color of my tulip to yellow and after trying every adjustment on the planet in darktable I found that the base table gave me the look I wanted for this Happy Slider Sunday
Base image was one of my “Distortion Jewels” series, then transmogrified in iColorama, then upscaled, then repainted in ProCreate.
It feels like I have been working on this for months. The last stage was difficult and I’m still not sure I like the result. Sometimes paintings are like that, right?

Costantino (8 years old) is a Lagotto Romagnolo dog.
This is the only breed of dog that is officially recognized as specialized in truffle hunting.
Based upon its horizontal perching behavior, I believe this may be a male meadowhawk dragonfly. I found it perched at the edge of Mud Lake, a small lake found in Leelanau State Park on Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula. Help with more specific identification would be greatly appreciated. I have found trying to photograph dragonflies that zoom my way only to immediately zoom off in another direction, very frustrating. So, hurray for perchers!
