Old Tales of England immediately went into my Image Visualisation Module when I encountered this scene up in the Arctic Norway. A chainsaw amidst cut-to-form crags and fells? Who should ask for more?
I sprung into 'Automation' shooting mode with the D600 and a 16/3.5 Fisheye-Nikkor AI. Weather was inclement and deteriorating all the time, so the technical quality is not up to what I try to achieve normally. No time for careful tripod work and perfect framing. I was in a hurry. However, the image stands well enough on its own.

So you had to hurry, but then the clouds pressing in are a key part for me in this image. It gives it a dire feel.
cheers

You got red on you?

This shows how one person's visual mind works, and another don't.
I was there, I saw the chainsaw, and I saw the stone pillar, but my mind did not connect the two.
(On a side note - or maybe this should be posted somewhere else: The image is too large, I can not see the whole image until I right click and open it. Even if I have Firefox fullscreen I see only part of the image with a scroll bar underneath. I would prefer the images downsampled here, and see it full size when opened with a right click and "view image").

Here it is downsapled so I see the whole image (in Firefox).

Strange. The image display perfectly in Firexfox 38.0.5 on my Win64/64 machine. This is with a Thinkpad W520 equipped with a 1920x1080 pix monitor, if recall correctly not very different from your own?
Right-clicking open the View menu and I can see the full-sized iamge.

Strange. I opened this page in Chrome, and there it looks fine.

Nope. But lots of rust particles on the bottom of the tidal pool. Seawater isn't kind to unprotected metalwork.

Right now I am using a stationary machine with 1600x1200 monitor, Firefox 35.01, Win7/64. In Chrome and even in IE it looks fine. Hmmmm.

Perhaps the browser cache contains some obsolete site settings?

I updated to 38.05, cleared cache and restared FF. Still the same :-\

No further suggestions available from my side. This is as enigmatic as the depicted artwork itself ....
-
Font size needs a magnifier all images need scrolling.
Not good for mobile use on Android 4.4.2 with any browser

Great image Bjorn!
-
That's something you don't see everyday. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting sculpture / artwork. How much of it is man made? The rocks look quite different.
Ps. Firefox 38.0.5 on a 15" rMBP here and no issues displaying the image.

Everything concerning these rock formations is natural. The chain saw, as mentioned, had arrived to the scene as drift material by the sea (the pool seen here is tidal). It was only left as an exercise to me to make the photo.
-
But you pout it into the upright position?
-
Having just visited http://www.sculpturebythesea.dk/ I thought it was made by someone and I guess I was right in a sense :)
-
But you pout it into the upright position?
No. The rocks are in their natural position. Besides, that pillar must have weighed in at hundreds of tons. Beyond my capability to lift ...
-
The chain saw not the rocks....
-
The chainsaw was there.
-
Intriguing
wish the chain saw was sharper , seems focus is at infinite? a bit surprising when using a fisheye and something turns out blurry
-
Powerful image,
Sorry about the chainsaw you had to rot for the shot :D
-
The sculptor has been there before you came if it was not you
I once found a macabre puppets head on a stick. I took the photo. 20 years later I learned my mother put it there.....
