These statues are on top of a waterfall at a shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe in Des Plaines, Illinois.

These are great, Minute Man, and thanks for sharing the history too. Very interesting!

As for mine below, it was a rather ugly-looking cherub on top of a grave marker in a Mexican cemetary. I didn't like the way it looked in color, so I just now played around using PSE's "Convert to Black and White" feature then tinkered with adding and subtracting green, blue, and red. Still wasn't happy so added a black and white tint which darkened it and made it more appealing (to me).

While I'm not sure I like the placement of the statue, I AM crazy about how the sky turned out.
