I had to go to Aachen this morning. It was a sunny day and lots of people were taking the opportunity to have a paddle in one of the local fountains, along with some statue-people.
Real people and statue people enjoy the warm weather...
I can't reach my toy boat....
Is that statue picking pockets?
I also came across a small boy with some vomiting fish… or something like that…
Projectile vomiting fish?
…and a bird bath, but no real birds, only bronze ones…
Fake birds... and no wonder, the bath was empty!
What I really did like though, were the hanging baskets. Aachen has the biggest hanging baskets I’ve ever seen! They looked more like trees, because by now the petunias had all grown together… fabulous!
Giant hanging baskets....
Planet Germany 
You are right. The petunias are just wonderful! Just wondering – don’t they take a lot of water? Well, we had plenty this year.
