Celtic granite cross - HFF

Celtic granite cross - HFF
It stands in front of a viewing platform and combines the symbols of Brittany. On the base is written "PENN AR BED", that is to say "World's end". This platform is the circular base of a former German Freya-type radar during WW II.

CROIX CELTIQUE EN GRANITE. Elle est installée devant un belvédère et regroupe les symboles de la Bretagne. Sur le socle, on peut lire "PENN AR BED", c'est à dire "bout du monde ". Ce belvédère est l'embase circulaire d'un ancien radar allemand de type Freya datant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

KELTISCHES GRANITKREUZ. Es steht vor einer Aussichtsplattform und vereint die Symbole der Bretagne. Auf dem Sockel steht "PENN AR BED", d. h. "Ende der Welt". Bei dieser Plattform handelt es sich um die runde Basis eines ehemaligen deutschen Radars vom Typ Freya aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Two beautiful images Christa. The cross is lovely and I like the crumbling walls and mellow tones. The shadow of the cross against the wall in the second image is really good and your notes are excellent. Thank you

HFF and have a good weekend

Christa1004 club has replied to Günter Klaus club
Danke Güni, das Kreuz ist wirklich interessant. In den Kreuzarmen finden sichTierdarstellungen: oben 2 Fische (als Symbol für das Meer und das Christentum), links ein Hermelin (als Symbol der Reinheit und Wahrzeichen der Bretagne) und rechts eine Schlange (Symbol für die Erkenntnis und das Wissen). Unten ist ein Fischerboot (Symbol der regional bedeutenden Fischerei), bretonische Musiker (Symbol der bretonischen Kultur).

It seems every country has places called "World's End" which I guess means that the world has many ends ;-)
15 months ago.
Christa1004 club has replied to Sarah P. club
Thanks Sarah ;-)))
But you're right, a good remark. I suppose that on each continent there is necessarily a place where the continent's world ends, and to call it "World's end" sounds quite attractive...
