That Apotheosis Thing Again

.
When I was looking for an image to use for my 1,000th post I considered this one. It would have been okay but I'm glad I cooked up that bit of silliness that made it online. We've seen this guy before, Louis IX, King of France, Saint Louis. it's the statue in front of the art museum. You can see its position in Wednesday's post, behind the tree farthest to the right.

The official name of the statue is The Apotheosis of St. Louis. This town could use an apotheosis, that's for sure.

Old Louie looks a little dastardly here B. Maybe it's the HDR thang! Very cool though.

I wouldn't change a thing about your 1000th post. This is a very, very fine image, but on that day, if you had posted this shot, you might have been sending a message you didn't entirely intend. Or not. What do I know?
