Georg Ettl's "paddle wheel" leaves an impressive impression even in the "cloudy season". The steel sculpture on the meander island draws attention to the tension between nature and industry. It rejects the responsibility for man's interference with nature at the 1995 State Horticultural Show "Healing the Earth".
