Sonnenmensch I

SONNENMENSCH
Jakobuskirche, Tübingen
[48°31'17.6"N 9°03'04.6"E]


No rays to be seen, yet its concentric head leaves little doubt to its solarity.

Suddenly this evangelical church in which it stands feels small and ill-equipped to house this majestic statuary, which seems to rebuff the suggestion of shelter by its very presence.

Naturally we do not refuse the irresistible chance to regard it directly.
