This sculpture of a lion is placed near Traunsee in Upper Austria by some reason. Rumour has it that the sculptor drowned himself after realizing he forgot the lion's tongue...
wow, didnt you or sabine say something before about someone killing themselves for doing something wrong with a building??
i love the sky here its awesome! shame the lion kinda lost some details with the hdr. but.. hdr ... addictive huh?! lol
It must be a rumour only, nobody is that stupid, or drunk i'd guess.
Coincidentaly, i posted a image from the Traunsee to today. I was there on a rainy day, but still liked the place ! Have a look full size when you get home.
Chis, think that the sculptor had no good reason to drown himself as the lion stands for something else and without a tongue one can't speak evil. Wonderful story and image. Regards, Cornelius
