Or - it may be a caped women fleeing the fear filled coming night.. to the safety of her home.. and the dripping wet tree branches are grabbing out - snatching and trying to prevent her.. as in a horror movie'..Other than that - a most lovely photo' // I zoomed out on your map - then found the stone on Google Earth.. 2.2km north of Ize'... I enjoy finding things. // Good wishes Christa'
