It seems the statue of Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn made himself a few friends since the last time I walked through this square in Amsterdam. This was how Rembrandt’s army looked on a soggy evening back in September.

This is what you get when you place your cellphone under suspended art — Lichtglitter in Raum by Heinz Mack, as presented at Amsterdam’s Stadelijk Museum back in September — and snap a photo.

This is one of the retro symbols of Germany.
Ampelmann is the name given to the “walk” symbol from pedestrian traffic lights in East Germany during communist times.
The figure was so beloved, there was an uproar when officials tried to replace it. As a consequence, they remain an active holdover … and it wouldn’t be shocking to find them in parts of Germany that were never behind the Iron Curtain.
Above, a more-than-life-size Ampelmann spotted in Frankfurt’s historic square; below, an Ampelmann in action in Berlin.

It’s hard to believe this sci-fi-esque piece of architecture belongs to something as banal as a shopping centre! Spotted in Frankfurt on a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon back in September.
