this is an odd thing – maybe an old bear pit

Feb.20, 2011

It looks like it was a bear pit at one time where I expect people could stand around it and view the bears at “play”. Now it contains various animal sculptures as well as a naked young woman in high heeled shoes, long evening gloves. She has long dark hair and is sitting with a sleeping giraffe. On the same level is a small portable clothes line – very odd indeed.

The pit is just outside the old walls of Maastricht and it a lovely walk. Lovely textures, colours, old buildings, fortress, a statue of D’Artagnon and much much more.

There is also the statue of a bear which looks like it is getting up or maybe it is going to sit down – and you can sit with the bear and talk to it. I’ve not seen any children there – but I could imagine children doing just that.
