Street bling…

Rothenburg is an amazing example of a medieval walled city that for some reason (my guess is unbridled tourist-mongering), has more than its share of German street bling, provided here at no extra charge to you, my faithful readers.I guess there was a time in Germany when no establishment worth its salt would hang its shingle without also hanging one of these things, whatever they’re called. Rothenberg is absolutely lousy with them.Although somewhat macabre, I liked this little butcher statue.   This cat was perched over a driveway. I’ve seen similar adornments of roosters and even a gargoyle, but never a feline. Speaking of fowl, here are a couple of mildly interesting specimens. I found this lion eye-catching for whatever reason.
