We had a great time even though the weather was horrible. I am going to post about the places we went. I posted but I clicked save instead of publish and nothing published. That is good though because now I can edit everything a little more. I was curious about the sculpture and think it is interesting but I need to look a little more closely at everything to understand it better. I have been trying to catch up on my posts.

I was curious about the sculpture and think it is interesting but I need to look a little more closely at everything to understand it better.

The monument to the persecuted homosexuals is devoid of ornamentation, partly to deter vandalism and partly as a reference to the hundreds of plain, tomb-style stones making up the sprawling nearby Holocaust memorial." I find it sobering to look at, it also piques my curiousity to learn more so I'm sure that reaction will be provoked in others. Owen-I stopped by cause I was thinking ... haven't heard any new France Tales recently! and then I remembered you were travelling to Biarritz. Hope you had an enjoyable trip!

Sad looking it is but if nobody told me what I was looking at, I could never imagine what it was supposed to stand for.

I have no idea what it is. It looks a little sad though. It was the best picture I could find of it, I agree it is not too flattering. I have no idea what it is. It looks a little sad though.

It's too bad something like this will probably never appear in the United States. Not in our lifetime, at any rate. I agree.
