'(Hoch)Stapelei' #FotoVorschlag

Hoch gestapelt am Kopf einer Treppenflucht strebt die kopf-lose Nike dem Sieg entgegen

Picture of the Winged Victory of Samothrace at the Louvre in Paris, pictured from below. The headless winged sculpture, having a female body, is placed on a pedestal high above the viewer on top of a staircase. Above her an oval skylight - she might disappear to the skies at any moment. In the context of the high ceiling hall, the sculpture appears tiny, although nearly 2.5 meters tall.

'Gemeinschaft' #FotoVorschlag

Kuschelnde Pilze in herbstlicher Frische

Picture of four mushrooms in different sizes but of the same kind with a very glossy surface in a light beige, growing on a fallen tree stem. The mushrooms appear to snuggle with each other, with their heads overlapping and slightly touching each other. In the background, out of focus, are trees with leaves starting to turn yellow and a lake. The scenery resembles fotos of outdoor activities where people form a close group in front of a nice view.

'Blick aus Deinem Fenster' #FotoVorschlag

Mein Fenster, verschleiert.

Der Blick hinaus ist der Katze vorbehalten.

Picture of a closed thin, white, wrinkly curtain illuminated from behind by a window. The light from outside casts the shadow of a horizontal glazing bar and the silhouette of an upright sitting cat, looking to the left, onto the curtain.

'Alles was wackelt' #FotoVorschlag

Für alle außer Marianne eine etwas wackelige Angelegenheit auf dem Monument à la République.
Als Nationalallegorie aus Bronze lässt es sich leicht einige Demonstrant_innen balancieren... aber ob L'Égalité nicht viel wackeliger ist, als es den Anschein hat?

Picture of the Monument à la République in Paris, with a height of 25 meters, during a large demonstration. On top of the monument is a huge bronze statue of Marianne. On the pedestal, two allegories made from stone are visible, L'Égalité on the left and La Liberté on the right. Around 20 protesters who have climbed the monument are standing or sitting up there, one, respectively, balancing on the head and lap of L'Égalité, two sitting at her feet. One protester climbs up La Liberté. In the foreground, red and white banners in motion with the text "CNT Solidarité Ouvrière" and smoke from pyrotechnics are visible. On the left-hand side of the scene, there are street signs pointing to Châtelet, Forum des Halles, and Centre G. Pompidou.

Verwischt' #FotoVorschlag
Jaguarkuschelspielknäuel

Picture of three jaguars, one adult and two juvenile animals. They form a wild, dotted, furry convolut while playing and cuddling. Some body parts of the cubs are caught by the camera in movement and are thus blurred. The adult jaguar, only partially visible, appears to be not moving, forming a nest around the cubs. A tree branch with bork is visible in the foreground on the right-hand side.

Ohren. Hauptsächlich Ohren.

Picture of a black kitten, sitting upright, illuminated by bright sunlight behind its back. Mainly the big ears are visible, the orange eyes glow slightly, everything else is flooded with sun rays. In the background, out of focus, a window with pottet plants in front and some wooden furniture.

Autism is back on the front pages. Why not read the book that my excellent @manchester.ac.uk @manchstm.bsky.social colleague Dr Bonnie Evans has published on the history of autism? It's open access and you can read it online for free.

'Tischkultur' #FotoVorschlag

...wenn die künstlerische Komposition und der Geschmack in die höchsten Gefilde aufsteigen.

Picture of a white plate with an exquisitely composed arrangement of vegetables, each prepared in a different way, e.g. fried, with bread crumbs, etc. The pieces are arranged like a small mountain ridge, sitting on top of a dark brown shiny sauce base. Under the plate, a black shiny table surface, next to it, partially visible, wine and water glasses, a red menu, a small white side plate with cutlery, and a folded linen napkin in the background.

'Sandige Angelegenheit' #FotoVorschlag

Ohrfleck-Röhrenaale in ihrem sandigen Zuhause im Haus der Natur, Salzburg

Picture of an underwater aquarium scene. Four spotted garden eels extend from their burrows in a bright sand bed in the foreground. They are tiny, elongated fish with big eyes and a beautiful black spot pattern on their whitish body, looking cute. Their bodies are bent in curves, all in the same direction, but some more upright, some more like a quarter circle. They all look in the same direction on the right-hand side.
In the background, the aquarium is populated with brownish anemonies and green plants.
