The place in front of Karlsruhe Palace has been a construction site for more than a year. Past weekend it eventually was opened agained to the public (at least parts of it). Good reason for grabbing my camera and checking out what those guys were working on.

I wanted to shoot some panorama first, but there's still lots of construction site material around, so I stuck to a few details... and those were not that easy to find. At least, for this picture, I needed to walk around the entire place at least 3 times: When designing the place, the guys obviously didn't care about aligning the statues and those water channels with the trees in the background. So from all 6 pairs of statues, this is the only one that can be shot this way. Oh well...
