Roadside green verges in Bremen sometimes get unsightly, because the city government doesn't have money to get them tended to the extent necessary.
|
|
Citizens sometimes undertake the maintenance of grass verges and change those narrow areas into little artworks which brighten up daily life.
|
 |
This refreshment stand with the nice name 'The Last Glass'is far too small for a human being to fit in and to drink a glass of 'Corona pilsner' beer which is advertised on the doorposts.

|
The kiosk isn't located on a Caribbean beach or on South Sea Islands, it is located ...
|
 |
...on a small grass verge with a tree and a traffic sign in the so-called Eastern Suburb of Bremen.
|
|
A resident created this little artwork out of stones, small shrubs, little trees and a miniature shack.
|
 |
One can come across an other artwork on an other green verge in the Eastern Suburb of Bremen.
|
|
The pedestal of this sculpture consists of masonry and metal plates.
|
 |
The body of the fish is decorated with fantasy animals and hydrophytes.
|
|
The sign under the fish says 'Just look, don't touch'.
|
 |
There is also a little artwork of amateur horticulture on this narrow green verge in the Eastern Suburb of Bremen.
|
|
One can also see little tessellation artwork at the bottom of the picture.
|
 |
Even the b-w photograph shows how artfully many different plants were arranged on this green verge.
|
|
The bed was also accurately inlayed with an other mosaic.
