“The bad thing about all religions is that, instead of being able to confess their allegorical nature, they have to conceal it; accordingly, they parade their doctrines in all seriousness as true sensu proprio, and as absurdities form an essential part of these doctrines we have the great mischief of a continual fraud.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer, “The Christian System”, Parerga and Paralipomena

Just realised that last "Truelove" image was a "shonky" low res one, & rather than redoing the who toot, I'll just post it here with some others images...
2 - Queen Victoria on her podium above the Victoria Sq. toilets, flanked by statues.
3 - A "folly" in Pearson Park (actually the top of another lost building).
