We did a steamer trip on Lake Konstance in 1976, but I see that was over twenty years before her statue was erected - will have to return for another visit.

She's composed of growing plants & a woman is watering her. I went online with the prompt "Gaia" to see if I could find her there, but though there were myriad & tremendously varied forms of the earth mother, my picture was not among them. But that's all right. Because of your post, I now know who she is, so thank you for that!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-16738697711653823772014-03-21T16:11:55.827+00:002014-03-21T16:11:55.827+00:00I love Imperia, Bob!
