THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
De adelaar is ruim 9 meter hoog en is gemaakt van grof gehouwen stenen. Het is een ontwerp van architect en beeldhouwer Erwin Friedrich Baumann uit Faulensee.
Deze stenen adelaar (Simplon Adler) op de Simplonpass werd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog ontworpen en gebouwd door Zwitserse soldaten. De adelaar kijkt richting Italië.
Als symbool van de waakzaamheid werd het beeld in het leven geroepen ter herdenking aan de "Wacht op de Simplon" tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog 1940-1945.
Op het monument staat de volgende tekst:
"In de vrijheid van de bergen staat het, een groot memorial van hard graniet:
een memorial van trouwe plichtvervoer, een blijvende herinnering om bereid te zijn en ontwaakt voor onze vrijheid"

The eagle is over 9 meters tall and is made of roughly hewn stone. It was designed by architect and sculptor Erwin Friedrich Baumann from Faulensee.
This stone eagle (Simplon Adler) on the Simplon Pass was designed and built by Swiss soldiers during World War II. The eagle looks towards Italy.
As a symbol of vigilance, the statue was created to commemorate the "Guard on the Simplon" during World War II (1940-1945).
The following text is inscribed on the monument:
"In the freedom of the mountains it stands, a large memorial of hard granite:
a memorial of faithful service, a lasting reminder to be prepared and awake for our freedom."

Royal Border Bridge in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England. This historic railway viaduct is a testament to Victorian engineering and remains in active service today as a crucial part of the East Coast Main Line connecting London and Edinburgh.
The bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Tweedmouth.
It was designed by the renowned railway engineer Robert Stephenson, son of George Stephenson. Construction took place between 1847 and 1850, involving a workforce of up to 2,700 men. The structure is composed of 28 semi-circular arches and built primarily from brick faced with stone.
The bridge is approximately 659 metres (2,162 ft) long and carries the railway line 37 metres (121 ft) above the river level.
Queen Victoria officially opened the bridge on August 29, 1850, and permitted it to be named the Royal Border Bridge.
Despite its name, the bridge is located entirely within England; the actual border with Scotland is about 3 miles further north.

Le premier qui, ayant enclos un terrain, s'avisa de dire : Ceci est à moi, et trouva des gens assez simples pour le croire, fut le vrai fondateur de la société civile. Que de crimes, de guerres, de meurtres, que de misères et d'horreurs n'eût point épargnés au genre humain celui qui, arrachant les pieux ou comblant le fossé, eût crié à ses semblables : Gardez-vous d'écouter cet imposteur ; vous êtes perdus, si vous oubliez que les fruits sont à tous, et que la terre n'est à personne.
