I like image this very much.

BTW around here there are plenty of hawks, and they do enjoy the occasional pigeon. Wimbledon Tennis Tournament employed a regular hawk to keep the greens clear for the games.

... but the stubborn eagle just stayed there I presume? So one day we will get another nice Ganymede version, with the eagle?

Fabulous photograph. Beautiful compostion, perfect sky - not to mention the birds.

@everyone - thanks. And Peter, you're right - I have hundreds of photos of this statue as I pass it most days and it stands out against the ever-changing background of lake and sky. You'll likely see it again....

Having seen it in real life, under different conditions, I totally understand the draw of the sculpture.

Wow, this looks like a piece of black & white film. I've been to this spot but never able to take this kind of magnificent photo. Truly great job.
