➽ Talaria (Flügelsandale) - Red Bull kannten die damals noch nicht! ;-D Detail am Merkurbrunnen, einer von drei sogenannten "Augsburger Prachtbrunnen", den ich euch in den nächsten Tagen noch weiter vorstellen möchte. Die Augsburger Prachtbrunnen sind drei Brunnen in der Augsburger Maximilianstraße. Sie bilden eine Trias, die die drei Stände der Reichsstadt anspricht: den Herren-, Kaufmanns- und Handwerkerstand. Die Brunnen wurden zwischen 1588 und 1600 von Hubert Gerhard und Adriaen de Vries geschaffen. ________________________ ➽ Talaria (winged sandals) - well, they don't know Red Bull back then! ;-D Detail at the "Merkurbrunnen" (Mercury Fountain), one of three so-called "Augsburger Prachtbrunnen" (magnificent fountains), which I would like to introduce you in the next few days. The "Augsburger Prachtbrunnen" (magnificent fountains) are three fountains in Augsburg's Maximilian street. They form a triad that appeals to the three stands of the realm city: the stands of sovereigns, merchants and craftsmen. The Fountains were created between 1588 and 1600 by Hubert Gerhard and Adriaen de Vries.

➽ NOT The Sunday Challenge (TSC) - liminal spaces __________________ Here an excerpt from the English Wikipedia. Think this fits to my photo! "In anthropology, liminality (from the Latin word līmen, meaning "a threshold") is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of rituals, when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the ritual is complete..." "...to gain a better understanding of “tripartite structure” of liminal situations, one can look at a specific rite of initiation: the initiation of “youngsters into adulthood,” which Turner considered the most typical rite. In such rites of passage, the experience is highly structured. The first phase (the rite of separation) requires the child to go through a separation from his family; this involves his/her “death” as a child, as childhood is effectively left behind. In the second stage, initiands (between childhood and adulthood) must pass a “test” to prove they are ready for adulthood. If they succeed, the third stage (incorporation) involves a celebration of the “new birth” of the adult and a welcoming of that being back into society..."

➽ ...quit livin' on dreams ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬ _________________________ ➽ "Jeanny" is a song by the Austrian musician Falco, recorded in 1985 and caused a minor scandal: The song is about a relationship between a man and a girl named Jeanny. At the time when it reached number one, critics said that the song glorifies rape. German TV and radio personality Thomas Gottschalk made various negative remarks and called the song "rubbish". An outcry in German language markets caused the song to be banned by some radio broadcasters or played with a preceding warning by others. Typically, the scandal only helped to increase the sales of the single. The song is sung in a slightly unhinged voice, but the lyrics don't actually contain any direct reference to the act of rape or abduction. It is left to the listener's imagination.
