saar, river, spider-like, cabin

Spider cabin

This particular arachnid is to be found on the banks of the Saar. I keep imagining it will use its legs to wander off, but it always seems to be in the same place. I think it serves some function to do with controlling traffic on the river.

    The area seems potentially threatened by flood waters. Quite smart to build the house on legs...

    Interesting...if a little ugly! I can imagine kids would like it as a sort of semi-treehouse!

    Thanks for all your comments.

    joo: no, I have not been inside and I am not sure I dare — if you click for the large version, you will see that the floor is in a state of severe disrepair.

    Buenos Aires Photoblog: good point, although in the worst years that still would not have saved it.

    tapirgal: this weekend there is a Summer of Science event in town with lots of robots. Now if they could put their skils to making this walk, that would make an even more impressive show.

    I like the different shape of this cabin. I bet it's design inside is very unique.

    Denise Jelonek: it would be nice to think so but my bet is that it is standard government issue desks.
