Root Face / Wurzelgesicht
Not whittled upon by a human, there is an other wooden image. One of an arktic monster from R’lyeh sucking at a poor soul from quarz out of the rock, right at the end of the car road transporting people closest to the Cevedale peak. The connection is rather easy to make.... ;o) / Nicht von einem Menschen geschnitzt, steht da ein anderes Wurzelkunstwerk. Es ist ein hoelzernes Abbild eines arktischen Monsters aus R'lyeh das an einer aus Quarzadern angedeuteten armen Seele in einem Stein saugt, am Ende einer Strasse die viele Menschen zu einer relativ bequemen Route auf den Cevedale bringt. Die Verbindung ist da leicht hergestellt.... ;o) |

The good people of the Ortler region created nice exhibits on his death centential mostly focussing on the young dapper cartographer and montaineer, omiting any critique from the further career, like the behaviour on the trek back from Franz Joseph Land , so bad some say it was Weyprecht's doing alone that brought them home alive, also like how very strange it is that an austrian expedition leader that survived a rather similar situation would next thing go to the accademy to improve his painting skills and then obsessively research known details on a british expedition where everyone died, including odd stuff like the carpet pattern from the captains cabin, and then start a monumental painting cyclus on how he envisions the deaths of Franklin and his men?
I found this weird nature sculpture only a few minutes after reading an interpretive marker about von Payer's early exploits about 100m up the road.
