Tall chap, pointy fingers, likes a good book.
Apparently he came a cropper with the church back in 926 when he insisted on introducing the Croatian language in to church services so that his parishioners could better understand. What an outrage.
Apparently if you want all of your wishes to be fulfilled you simply need to rub his...big toe...

@humphreyhippo Thank you kindly :) @gardencat He seems to be something of a local hero...or his big toe is anyway... @tonygig Thank you very much :) @pistache It's very scenic in parts. In other parts, not so much. @domenicododaro I agree - sometimes I like to have the hoi-polloi in shot just so that I can feel better about myself ;) @gardenfolk Thank you very much :) @koalagardens Thank you kindly :) @brigette He was kind of hard to miss...tall bugger ;) @jamibann Thank you very much :) @salza As am I if he doesn't stop with this heat! @julzmaioro Thank you very much - I'm all in favour of a bit of grunge... @lynnz Thanks very much :)
So good you could find a GU-free pov!! Love this shot, he does look very authoritative. Can't imagine why he thought Latin had had its day though, the cheek.
@lyndamcg Thanks very much :) @jgpittenger That's because it was crap when I looked at in colour ;)) @golftragic Such a forward looking chap ;) @kjarn Thank you very much :) @suesmith Thanks very much :) @taffy Thank you very much :) @dhg He was rather large anyway without the POV exaggerating it...I feel so insignificant @jacqbb Thanks very much :) @fbailey Thank you kindly and yes, I have my moments of rock, god and ageing ;)
