She Wouldn’t Take Off Her Boots
On Thursday, we wandered around LeBaur Park in Greensboro to find this sculpture. It’s a 3d visualization of a photograph of a group of women right before they were murdered during the Liepāja massacre of December 15, 1941, a series of mass executions committed by the Nazis after the German occupation of Latvia. It was installed in April of this year.
It’s in a small garden tucked away near the library, not as close to the road as Google Maps indicated. There are roses all around it, still blooming. And a couple of bouquets had been left by other visitors.
Spider snacks!
That took me by surprise. I did not walk into it.
Death blowing bubbles
“Death blowing bubbles,” located on the ceiling of the holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. c. 1700s.
This is one of my screensaver pictures. I absolutely love this.
