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 :)

No. The rocks are in their natural position. Besides, that pillar must have weighed in at hundreds of tons. Beyond my capability to lift ...

Intriguing

wish the chain saw was sharper , seems focus is at infinite? a bit surprising when using a fisheye and something turns out blurry

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.....
