And what did I see?
A bear!
A huge bear, some 2 metres tall and on each paw he had... a little bear!
On his tummy someone had painted a heart and in this was for all to read written:
"RESPECT FOR ALL LIFE" (you can click to enlarge)
And this is not all – this baer was surrounded by some 140 other bears!
The United Buddy Bears were in Stuttgart on their mission to teach us about respect.
I was in a hurry, but the next morning I came earlier to take some pics and show some respect. The light was harsh morning light, so please excuse the quality.
Here are some pics, on Flickr I have some more.
The Aussie one wears Sydney harbour bridge, oh, well.
Liberty!
Impressive, it was:
Beautiful colors, I think:
Well. Back home I realized, ummm.... was there a German bear?
Will you believe it, I missed him! More so, I forgot to even look for him! It was just such an amazing scene, the Square, the bears, the light, the idea, and, due to the rather early hour, nearly no people.
And then again.... The idea is what counts, right?
The bears promote peace and international understanding the sixth year now – how „cool“ is that?
Next they will go to Paris, they came from Warsaw and with this they present the Weimar Triangle – a cooperation between the three countries that try to coordinate their political approaches and strengthen Europe and European integration.
A rather dull and heavy goal put into a whole lot of fun and positive energy. Yay to art!
