The Silesian Insurgents Memorial's three wings stand for the three Silesian Uprisings of 1919, 1920, and 1921, when […]

  10. Another edit of the Schwarzenegger statue that I previously submitted for #FotoVorschlag (“Prachtkerl” / fine specimen, hunk).

    I just remembered that Arnold was nicknamed “the Austrian Oak,” so I thought this would be fitting for #ThickTrunkTuesday as well. In his bodybuilding days he did, indeed, have a thick trunk.😁
