Sculptures, my favorites – gorgeous women in happiness and sorrow.
With the inspiration from Ailsa and her absolutly worth visting blog
“Where’s my backpack?“

Great topic. Some of the fountains in Berlin have stunning sculptures that to my knowledge have no recognition.

The first one I have known since I was a little tiny boy – my mum love to tell about how many times she have to pull or push her little boy away from the sculpture when we visited the city of Aarhus – it isn’t always easy to be a mum… “lol lol” 😉 😉
Yes I I can totally confirm, lovely memory to keep 🙂 !
