Statue, Schoenbrunn Castle, Vienna
Just happened upon this random image today and thought I'd post it:

Statue of a couple embracing, Schoenbrunn Castle, Vienna, Austria
Notably in this image is how damaging the environmental effects of chafing rain, triggered by the immense industrial and vehicle exhaust in Europe, are to the ancient and delicate outdoor artwork sprinkled all over the Old World.
This marble statue must have been gleaming white only half a century ago. Now, the black streaks tell of poisened rain and upclose, one can see the brittle surface slowly eroding away.
What a shame.
