>The power of life – #22

>
Mainz is twinned with more places than you can shake a stick at.

Watford, for example.

(Cousin Graham asked me whether anyone from Mainz had actually been to Watford before the nuptials)

Valencia’s possibly a more attractive prospect and the mating ritual resulted in this sculpture, designed by Andreu Alfaro, which graces the square in front of the town hall.

Designed in 1979

Built in 1982.

Restored in 2006.

And reassembled the wrong way round.

These things can happen……

    >I have a very soft spot in my heart for Mainz after spending several days there visiting with some of its great residents. It is a lovely town, and, according to your profile, it must be wonderful to retire there. Your photo is indeed interesting!
