This enormous sandstone sculpture of a resting Father Rhine is located on the "Great Terrace" of the Castle Gardens on the east side of the Heidelberger Schloss. I've also posted a detailed view.

This really fine photo puts him in perspective. What a beautiful statue - quite a work of art. It's now on my list of places to visit next time I'm in the area. LOL! ~Mary~

I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it.

Beautiful capture, fascinating.

Why not go out on a limb, that is where the fruit is....

An interesting statue. It appears that he is the giver of water, the river, with his outpouring jug. The shot is so wonderfully clear.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I thought it was 'old father time' - someone stole the name! lol! What an exhibitionist he is lying there in the garden! I am not sure I like the statue very much, but your photograph is very good Chris - I like the spouting water and the depth of colour in the walls and the plants!

In Vienna we have sculptures of the Danube, looking that way. And I read that there is a sculpture somewhere in Germany, where the Danube is a little child of Rhine and another river. Depends on where you are, huh? Great image. I think he looks as if he enjoys just being lazy.

Well captured, A lot of colour and detail in there, Posing like he`s had a beer or two on a sunny day! Nice job.

I really enjoy hearing from my caedes friends.
Both are really good, but this one is my favorite because you get to see the greenery around it.

Thank you all for your comments. I apologize that I wasn't able to thank each of you personally for taking the time to view and comment on this post. Time is pressing me at the moment, and though I will still post comment as I'm able, each will be sporadic for the next month or so...thanks again, my friends!
