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."
Paddy never has really liked the wet stuff and treats it with great suspicion, when he has to, he'll walk slowly with disdain shaking each paw as he takes it out of the water, as it gets deeper (to his collywobbles) theres always a perceptual pause :) .... his best ploy is to avoid it all together!!
My daughter used to work at this restaurant,captured while waiting to pick her up one evening.I liked the sort of Mexican look to this,well what i perceived as such:-)
A fetching looking Thirlmere this morning on the way into work .. and of course Paddy, who is always keen to look fetching!
