Here's a look at the cherub lover himself! This is Frederick II, known affectionately as alte Fritz. He was a very important figure in the shaping of German culture. He really enjoyed music and poetry and the more artsy side of life. I guess for those reasons I can overlook his obsession with angels and cherubs. Photo taken in April 2012.

We all have our quirks. Some are easier to overlook than others, especially if, as you suggest, there are other mitigating factors. Music and poetry are good things!
The composition is superb!
Love the statue and the beautiful sky in this composition!

Funny but I'm not sure I would have thought he loved cherubs!
I haven't been by in a while and what a surprise! Have caught up on all the intriguing cherubs and angels. Quite amazing! Wonderful pics of course Halcyon!
Sound like good pursuits to me! :)
this picture gives him even more statue like stature !

Scrolled back (I'm seriously behind reading after being on a roadtrip)...wow you did have a lot of cherub pictures from there (I enjoyed them sort of, but I have to agree with and laugh at your last sentence in this post)..... thanks for sharing the neat trip.
The composition is great. Love it!
Love the dramatic sky and the silhouette of the Frederick II :D
The angle and darkness add some mystery to the shot.
You doing OK? Missing your new posts, hope you're just busy!
