Gimme a "G" – #1395

Aqueductoral detail on one of the 9 carved stone cubes spelling out Johannes’ name on their horizontal surface one of the vertical planes in front of the Gutenberg Museum.

(Why do they always remind me of Country Joe and the Fish at Woodstock….?)

(The song’s as topical today as it was in 1969 – “Iraq” and “Afghanistan” don’t rhyme nor fit the meter quite as well as “Vietnam”, though….)
