The sweet little Swiss girl and the ivy

While organizing travel photos yesterday I found this photo from our Rhine River cruise last June. We toured the beautiful Swiss town of Stein am Rhein, it is famous for it's Medieval houses with painted facades. I looked up and saw this advertising mural covered in ivy. It struck me as pretty incredible, still.
Excellent shot and a perfect title. I wonderful if they ever cleared the ivy off since then.

Very cool! I love the texture/ shape of the ivy.

Well, I wonder if this lady is going to complain about all the ivy climbing all over her face!

Too bad the ivy covers up her pretty face.

Ooh Dear ,poor little Swiss Girl !! I am sure she did not envisage this happening to her --- Great find and capture

@mittens At first I hoped they would clear it, then the the longer I looked at it the more I thought she is lovely as she is. @maggiemae @henrir @beryl @alijchapman @joemuli My mantra when I'm out taking photographs is to remember to look up. I've always had a real love affair with clouds. I find looking up gives me many opportunities for finding some good, even great shots!

Well seen and captured. What a shame we cannot see her face, which I am sure is very pretty.

A great find. I hope they don't let the ivy cover her completely. Looking up is a great mantra to have. I must remember it.

Well spotted, shame she is hiding behind the ivy.

Beautifully painted, to be sure, but what a shame we can't see her little face! Of course that gorgeous ivy is nothing to sneer at!

The ivy creates such a wonderful effect, almost bringing this into the surreal realm...with her eye peeking through. I agree with you on keeping the ivy.

Poor thing- she's being overtaken by green slime!
