Naked man in the Tiergarten


I guess I'm just on a naughty roll... I actually took this picture a few weeks ago at the height of fall. All these leaves are probably gone now, but don't they look pretty scattered on the grass? And to be fair, you do see quite a bit of nudity in the Tiergarten during the summer. There are areas where nude sunbathing is tolerated, if not explicitly allowed.

  3. A beautiful male body. I think that with all those leaves, you might have placed a few in a very strategic place!

  4. It's a beautiful statue but, I can't help thinking it's going to be rather cold for him very, very soon.

  6. Is Tiergarten the name of this park? If I translate it this would be a zoo..!

    1. Both the area (bezirk) and the park are called Tiergarten. I think it was the hunting lands for the kings back in the Prussian days, hence the name.

    1. You will find mostly men nude sunbathing here. The Tiergarten is a traditional meet and greet for gay men.

  10. Well, if I had buns of steel/bronze, you might me see me walking naked through the Tiergarten, too. Or . . . maybe not. :-)

  11. This is, uhm, refreshing. Usually male statues have strategically placed leaves or something else artistic.

  12. Well, I must admit it was not the leaves on the grass that got my attention first.
