  • Onee-chan!

    This monument looks very realistic. When you approach it, you expect the eagle flies away. It's much impressive.

  • I thought it was real as it is so big. 

    Cool photo, Rose!

  • Thank you Rose! It is very beautiful! You are lucky to see it by your own eyes!

  • Roman, I did not find that photo with the sunset. But I found a picture of it in net.

    here you go:

  • Wow! So high! And why didn't you take a photo of that sunset? That word "glow" is what I think about, when I see some great sunset! Thank you for explanation!

  • Roman,

    this monument in the shape of a bronze eagle was dedicated to the South Tyrolean politician and foreigner spy pioneer Theodor Christomannos (1854 -1911). The influential politician regarded the economic development of South Tyrol as his life's work. As an avid climber and mountaineer, he devoted himself in particular to alpine tourism and also to the expansion of the transport network.
    The monument is 250 cm tall. It's a very well-known monument in the Dolomites.
    The monument is located in the southeastern part of the "Rosegarden". The powerful rock formations in the Dolomites look at sunset as if they glow, so red. The name is not derived from the flower. I have seen this beautiful glowing. It was great!

  • Hi Rose! How big is it?

  • Hi Rosemary! Nice poem:)

  • You know, AT, standing in front of this huge figure of an eagle had been amazing.

    Rosemary, thanks a lot for this beautiful poem. Everything's been said with this few words.

  •    This was the first poem , in my first  poetry lecture  in my English  department 

    The Eagle

    He clasps the crag with crooked hands; 
    Close to the sun in lonely lands, 
    Ring'd with the azure world, he stands. 
    The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; 
    He watches from his mountain walls, 
    And like a thunderbolt he falls. 
         Ur wonderful  photo have reminded  me of it :)

    More than any other Victorian writer, Tennyson has seemed the embodiment of his age, both to his contemporaries and to modern readers. In his own day…
