Default Re: A letter from Prague-the East Europen perspective on the world events

OK,here I made the pictures smaller.I hope this will work.One more time I apply the descriptions from the previous post,to make your viewing them easier.
First are pictures of Steiner(one made in Prague!) and Beinsa Duno.Follow pictures of the First(a hand-carved wooden structure burned completely at the end of 1922) and the Second Goetheanums,the buildings where is located the World Headquarter of The Anthroposophical Society near by Basel,Switzerland.Its surrounded by some other pieces of anthroposophical architecture,a specific style created by R.Steiner.The Second Goetheanum,what stands today at the place of the First one,what burned,is actually the first modern structure of such scale made of the relatively new material at that time,the reinforced concrete.
Next pictures show the statue,called by Steiner "The Representative of the Mankind" and suppose to show the Christ (or the Human Being,bearing Christ,I have heard both explanations) with the opposite forces of Ahriman and Lucifer.The latter ones are shown 2 times,as the ones on the left are "younger" than the ones on the right,what are shown in a latter phase of their development. Above all is a winged head,what according some explanations is the Spirit of the Humor(?).The next pictures are showing details from the statue,as well as some preliminary sculpture studies of Steiner of Ahriman's head,as well as Steiner in his studio during work on the figure of Christ.There is one more picture,representing a painting of the Lucifer-Ahriman motive.Next picture is showing a Paneurythmy circle in Rila mountain in Bulgaria.Its a sacred dance,performed by the White Brotherhood,the organization of the followers of Beinsa Duno.And at the end is me in Rila mountain,during the annual gathering of the Brotherhood at 2400 m hight in The Seven Lakes Area.
