Next was a day in Darmstadt. The Art Nouveau style was developed there around 1900. This is a house that exemplifies it; it was one of the ones that housed the artists' colony that developed the style.
We went to Rose Heights (Rosenhole) park. These lions guard the gate.
It was a wonderfully relaxing day. The dome is in the rose garden. Picnic lunch with a view!
This is a hilarious sculpture in town of posable figures.
Darmstadt is a high-tech town, and a school town. This plaza with Ludwig on a column ("Long Louie") is a popular meeting place.
