Earth spirit
Opposite the Alter Turm, and constantly gazing upon it, is the Erdgeist, a 14m high bird figure, created in 2000 by André Heller for the World Wildlife Fund's stand at the Hannover Expo.

very nice picture. I also visited that one some weeks ago. Nice place to relax
ReplyDeleteOh dear, it is not just Australian's that have a thing about building 'big things'.
ReplyDeleteStrange, very strange. A bird head, with human-like arms and legs. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, it's huge! What is it made of - looks like gigantic flower bed.
ReplyDeleteHow did the Erdgeist come to Mettlach? And what is he doing with the cube? And what is painted on the surrounding wall? Graffitti???
ReplyDeleteNice pic, btw, ;-), I like the different shades of blue.
wow... que miedo con el birdman!!
ReplyDeletemuy impresionante.. un trabajo de jardineria que me recuerda a la pelicula del "joven manos de tijera"... la viste?
Cudiate!
un besito
I was wondering the same thing,a bird/human mix. That's interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree this one is rather nice, as are a few of the Aussie big things.
ReplyDelete'Edward Sissorhands' was the first thing that crossed my mind! :-) Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow, wie klein kommt man sich da vor.
ReplyDeleteI just love this bird... and so the dear hunter.
