The guardian of the three cantons | kewl's gallery

Imagine a dark silhouette of a stag, standing proudly against a cloudy sky. The stag is a metal sculpture, its outline sharply defined, with large antlers extending upwards. To the left, and slightly behind the stag, is a large, rounded water tower, also silhouetted against the sky. Some leafy branches and foliage partially obscure the bottom of the stag. The scene creates a sense of contrast between the natural form of the stag and the industrial shape of the water tower, all set against the backdrop of a cloudy sky.
