The Phantom of Harlem and the Van Gogh’s Ear Award

This snow-covered statue reminded me of the Phantom of Opera. 
What do you think?
I took this photo the last time it snowed, a few days ago. We are expecting snow, AGAIN, this Thursday. I hope it doesn’t last long.
Thanks to Jientje, of Heaven in Belgium, for passing along the Van Gogh’s Ear award to me.
Roger of Idaho Photo created this award. You can read about the inspiration for this award here. Thanks so much, Roger, for that good laugh. I needed it and I’ll take your advice, along with the award.
Roger ends his award post with the words, "Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else."
LOL! I pass this message, along with the Van Gogh’s Ear award, to those of you who have stopped by here. Please feel free to copy it and post on your blog. You can find a smaller image of the award below.

Lovely image of the snow-covered statue. It looks quite nice and a bit enigmatic too.
Thanks so much for the award, Paz! I’m always pleased to read your very fine blog.
Yes, I can see Phantom of the Opera in it. Also looks a little Lenin-ish.
That does remind me of the Phantom of the Opera.
We are having really warm weather over here in California. It’s been in the high 60s, low 70s this week. Pretty cool, but boy is it going to be a shocker when it gets cold again.
LOL! Now that you mention it, it does look like Phantom of the Opera.
Congrats on the award!
It really does look like the Phantom! Cool shot!
Definitely Phantom-like!! Congratulations on the award – well deserved.
Sure looks like one cold statue.
……..and it’s snowing again now……..
The snow really gave some strange and interesting look to the statue. The snow is melting now over here but we too are expecting a new amount of it again.
Congrats on the award!
With a little creativy yes I do see the Phantom but wouldn’t have if you didn’t point it out. LOL
Congrats with the award!
Your statue looks like the phantom to me and the ear award, what can I say. . .very interesting–LOL.

Yes, it does look a lot like Phantom of the Opera.
How amazing is that?
Yes, I’m back from my vacation. And it’s sooooo cold.
Paz, it certainly does look like Phantom of the Opera! Would you mind my asking where you were when you took that shot? I was just in Calvary Cemetery (Woodside) taking pictures and the background looks like it…
Oh I forgot, congrats on the Van Gogh’s Ear award!
You’re welcome my friend!!
And yes, you’re right about the statue!!
The snow is gone here in Belgium. We’re back to grey now!
A beautiful portrait & very funny award Paz! I love them both & Roger’s quote is the best. I will have to steal it, but will give him full credit of course!

That’s a great shot! Cool that you can use the snow to your advantage in your photography, like everybody says it does look like the Phantom nice job! Glad you like the award and I see why you got it!!
Hi Paz
Congrats!
That van Gogh ear award is so clever and creative …. and funny!
That snow covered statue could pass for The Phantom of the Opera.
If it wasn’t so cold today I would have gone to battery park to see the airplane in the water –wasn’t that rescue a wonderful miracle?
Hugs, Pat
Does snow ever last long in NYC? Most of our “winters” are about 48 hours. We have more than one per year of course…
