Description
Before we leave Eisenach we pay a little attention to this statue, the Luther-Denkmal. This statue of Maarten Luther seems to need some restoration, but in the meantime this might have been done yet (this series dates from 1992).

Eaa
lovely with the flowers in the front. :) a little sad that the background is dark/grey...so the statue disapears a bit. but besides that, the picture is great hugs

Another great man from history. What type of soil do they have in Eisenach? Have a great day, J.C.!

I like this photo, Jan-Carel!! So much to look at here. Super statue, the base of it is beautiful too. The pretty, bright flowers are wonderful. All in all, top notch I'd say. Excellent work as always... Happy day hugs :-)

A wonderful European city scene. I wonder why they make religious figures look so grim.
Svarg
I was going to agree with Buffalo1, but then if you took on the most powerful religion of the time that might give you cause to be a bit grim. lol! Great shot as always, Jan-Carel!

An image to meditate on, what life is about, how should we live and how we should not waste what we have been given:):)..V
Klutz
Nice composition. I like the splash of colour in the foreground. :0)

A fitting tribute to one who was persecuted for daring to image life free from many of the arbitrary conventions of his day and for his courage to express those convictions. The sculptor has certainly captured the defiance and stoicism so much a part of his character.

Wonderful shot of martin Luther. If they haven't restored it yet, maybe someone should contact the Lutheran Church in America, they are everywhere here and would surely be glad to raise the funds to restore it.

Oh I like this photo which gives a real feel for Urban living there. The trees and the different tones on the buildings make quite a nice framework for the statue. Another excellent image!! V :-)

Its very difficult to take a picture of a dark statue (for me that is). That greenish coloration on the statue might be a blessing for photography as it brings out the statue more. Excellent shot. Aloha

Great monument. Beautiful viola border.

This is just about perfect. Like Sharky I have great difficulties in shooting dark statues, while it is just that that I am thinking of doing in the near future (my city of Ghent abounds in wonderful statues). Maybe I should buy a new camera? I'm not a photographer, I just take snapshops that sometimes turn out nice. YOU are a photographer, and you take wonderful pictures!
