#WindowWednesday
Statue of Willy Brandt at the atrium of the Willy-Brandt-Haus (the party headquartes of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) which was designed by Helge Bofinger and built between 1993 and 1999) in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Willy Brandt (born on 18 December 1913 as Herbert Ernst Karl Frahm in Lübeck; he died on 8 October 1992) was the leader of the SPD from 1964 to 1987, the fourth chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) from 1969 to 1974, and the first social-democratic chancellor since 1930. From 1957 to 1966 he also was Governing Mayor of Berlin (West).
Fearing prosecution by the Nazis because of his socialist work and publications during the time of the Weimar Republic and his membership of the SPD and later (from 1931) the SAPD (Socialist Worker's Party of Germany), which was banned by the Nazi regime, he fled to Norway. There he took on the pseudonym of Willy Brandt to avoid detection by Nazi agents, and formerly adopted that name in 1948. Brandt returned to Germany in 1945 as a correspondent for Scandinavian newspapers to report about the Subsequent Nuremberg trials; in 1948 he officially regained the German citizenship. In 1971 Brandt received the Nobel Peace Prize for his "efforts to strengthen cooperation in western Europe through the EEC and to achieve reconciliation between West Germany and the countries of Eastern Europe" (Wikipedia).
The 3,40 m (11,1549 inches) high statue of Willy Brandt was created by German musician and sculptorist Rainer Fetting (*1949) who lives in Berlin and New York. By the way, "Gerechtigkeit" (the word in white capital letters) means justice.
HWW and Happy Hump Day, Everyone, and have a great rest of the week ahead!
Willy der Große
Diese 3,40 Meter hohe und über 500 kg schwere Statue von Willy Brandt, geschaffen vom Musiker und Bildhauer Rainer Fetting (*1949 in Wilhelmshaven), steht im Atrium des Willy-Brandt-Hauses in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Da das Laowa seine Stärken besonders bei extremeren Blickwinkeln auszuspielen scheint, hatte ich hier mein kleines Tischstativ mit, um halbwegs bequem und verwacklungssicher Fotos aus einem möglichst tiefen Blickwinkel machen zu können. Fotografiert als Drei-Aufnahmen-Belichtungsreihe. Sabine.R und ich waren vor unserem jüngsten Stammtischtreffen (siehe vorheriges Foto) noch einmal dort gewesen, nachdem wir das Willy-Brandt-Haus bereits im Juli bei einem Flickr-Treffen mit A_Peach, --Conrad-N--, preze, mmsig, Moni E, marionrosengarten und Heiko Röbke besucht hatten.
Ich wünsche Euch einen schönen Feiertag morgen, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
This could also be called the elephant, the kuril and the chair! The artwork at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane is known as “The World Turns” and consists of an elephant turned onto its head, a kuril nearby (native water rate) and even the bronze chair to the left. It’s a long and interesting story and it’s probably better to read it in this entertaining link -

This Window Wednesday shot was taken from inside and upstairs at GOMA during the week as evidenced by the school students having lunch below. That’s the Brisbane River flowing by on the left hand side, the city is just across the river from here.
Here is a closer shot of the elephant and the kuril. Elephants are scared of mice aren’t they, no wonder it’s doing head stands!

This is a restaurant I call Le Petit Dejuener. Oddly enough there is a restaurant with this name.
The Williamstown Maritime Association has a number of heritage buildings in need of considerable repair. Including this barricaded window with the broken panes. Victoria recorded 1,312 new COVID-19 cases and five deaths today Wedneasday.
In an effort by the health service to catch up on the backlog of hospital appointments, Kings Mill Hospital in Mansfield have introduced Saturday and Sunday working in certain areas. This was the scene on Sunday in the orthopaedic section of the outpatient complex. My appointment was late in the afternoon, after most clinics had finished hence the deserted look.
There is lots of glass around and the windowed roof is eye-catching!
Captured for Wall and Window Wednesdays. HWW everyone!
And for the We're Here group's visit to the Dutch Angle group. (Couldn't stay away for long!)

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Old abandoned house that has sat beside a restaurant that is also left. These are both at the edge of town but still in the mix of our tiny Metropolis.
I should mention that the yellow building in the BG is also empty. (restaurant)
These are now gone (Jan 2020))
Happy Window Wednesday
Mural in Warner Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.
It's got some windows in there too, so Happy Window Wednesday.
Captured in Blue Skies Village, Rancho Mirage, California for Window and Wall Wednesday. HWW everyone!
This is a display window on an old run down shop. And yes the grass is growing inside and above the floor level. How? I don't know.

The shell of this long abandoned farmhouse in northern Illinois probably houses many ghosts of times past.But they will soon need to find a new place to reside-the old house is in near collapse condition.
But I seriously doubt the new place will have nearly as much....atmosphere...
Have a great window Wednesday all!
The Renaissance Center complex is on the Detroit International Riverfront and is owned and used by General Motors as its world headquarters.

I go past this place every time I go to Trumansburg. We might get some rain, I hope!
Photobombed again, see below! :0)))
From a past stroll through our local Chevy dealer's car lot.
Happy Window Wednesday/Hump Day!
Villa Tugendhat is a historical building in the wealthy neighbourhood of Černá Pole in Brno, Czech Republic. It is one of the pioneering prototypes of modern architecture in Europe, and was designed by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Built of reinforced concrete between 1928 and 1930 for Fritz Tugendhat and his wife Greta, the villa soon became an icon of modernism.

This fine old house in Chandia, Crete is now used for a translation services business. Pleased to see that very little how the exterior has been altered.

Surprisingly I did very well in there, others did not! (Sue)
I've taken this window before, but not for ages and hadn't tried it out with the Panasonic.
Far better.
The building is Secours Catholique, here's a link about them:
