This thing fascinated me the first time I saw it at Creaky Pavillion, where it was art for a post on Warmism. No explanation there (which is not meant as a criticism, Tatyana), but there was a link to the Flickr account where it originated. There it was identified as the Zugspitze weather station, atop the Zugspitze, the highest spot in Germany, at a little under ten thousand feet. Looks like a defensive outpost of some kind in the Lord of the Rings, or else a flour sifter turned on its side. Can’t find an explanation for why it looks the way it does, but it certainly is cool. The peak in the distance has a Christian cross atop it, viewable in the image as posted at Flickr.
UPDATE: Tatyana, at Creaky Pavillion, added this link to a larger photo of the station, which isn’t as dramatic looking, but gives a better idea of what it actually looks like. I’d still like to know what’s in there.
