The Dreamer

.

Don Quixote (my interpretation of this sculpture) is a Spanish epic novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Originally published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615, its full title is The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha or, in Spanish, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha. A founding work of Western literature, it is often labelled as the first modern novel and one of the greatest works ever written.Don Quixote is also one of the most-translated books in the world.
I had walked by this sculpture from recycled old iron many times, but either without a camera or a grey sky ... a couple of weeks ago I found what I wanted :-))

He looks more like an Indian charching at the enemy, but that may have been as futile as the endevours of Don Quijote.

"Mach' flott den Schrott" we would say, if a person should create such a sculpture or something similar from scrap metal. The creator of this "Don Quixote" was very imaginative and the horse has a living posture. A good idea to wait for good weather.
Warm regards Bernd

Sehr interessantes Motiv fein von Dir abgelichtet.
Der Blickwinkel und der Schnitt gefallen mir hier sehr gut.
Es ist schon erstaunlich was die Menschen aus den Schrottteilen erschaffen.
Ein Kunstwerk.
Sowas muss man fotografieren...
Guten Wochenstart wünscht Dir Henryk

Excellente mise en page qui traduit bien la dynamique puissante et l'élan de ce cheval et son cavalier aux tons bruns se détachant superbement sur ce ciel d'un bleu pur .
Compliments
Amitiés et bonne semaine

Auch bei den Indianern gab es bestimmt ein Don Quijote.
Schön der Ideenreichtum und die Umsetzung.

Belle capture de cette œuvre de fer que j'aurais pris pour un guerrier indien.
Sous ce ciel bleu, elle se détache bien.
Amitiés et bon dimanche
