Angel with a mobile phone.
During the restoration of St. John’s Cathedral (den Bosch) 25 new angels statues had been created by sculptor Ton Mooy, including the one with a modern twist. The last angel in the series holds a mobile phone and also wears jeans. "The phone has just one button, says the artist. – It dials directly to God". The mobile-using angel had to be first approved by the cathedral's fathers, who rejected earlier designs with the jet engines on the angel's back.

It must have really taken great courage on the cathedral's fathers part to approve this. I go from LOL to really? Great find.

Great idea and very representative of the age in which it was created.

That is so cool. I liked the "Church fathers rejected the jet pack" detail. Your profile says you live in Phoenix... I'm not feeling Phoenix for this photo, though?!

@bonniebouman Correct! This photo was taken in Den Bosch in the Netherlands. I was just there for a holiday. Great little city to visit!

OH, this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'s-Hertogenbosch . I think my cousins took me there years ago, maybe we saw some of those Hell & Judgement paintings (I almost typed 'photos' !) of the painter Bosch?

@bonniebouman Currently, the city is hosting an art exhibition of all of Bosch's paintings (except for two of them). It's the first time in 500 years that all the Bosch paintings have been 'home'.
