I feel as if I’ve seen just about everything, on my wanders between the University and home, or between home and work. One thing I hadn’t expected, though, was that somebody would go to all of the trouble to damage the newly-renovated fountain in Kelvingrove Park.
Here’s a closer look at the poor cherub, who’s been like this for several weeks. I guess that it’s just a bit too heavy to get out by hand, which begs the question of how somebody lifted it off of its pins to begin with.
Perhaps they were objecting to the number of toes on the cherub? I believe this one has at least 8 toes.
Given, they’re not supposed to be human, but … well, it’s either that he’s got extra digits, or he’s had a truly horrible case of athlete’s foot. Somehow, I think disease is the less likely option, here.
-D
Oh that poor dear cherub. We never see wonderful sculptures like this where I live, such a shame people would do this but there are a lot of hateful folks out there I guess. Nan
You know, I wondered for years how to get my kids to stop wasting so much water in the shower by staying in so long – now I can confirm that they’ll grow extra toes! Thanks for the great parenting tip!
That is so sad and annoying. I remember the whole process of the fountain not being in use, the construction, and the finish. We were so glad when it was done. . .
