Cherry blossoms x statue

I've been sharing some of the cherry blossom combination photos I like to get annually. Each year, if the opportunity arises, I take a few photos of cherry blossoms with statues. However, this year, I didn't get any particularly good photos that I can recall, so I've used one that I have to hand, from April 1st this year (2025).

The cherry blossom in this photo is a weeping cherry blossom, called a shidare-zakura in Japanese. Weeping cherry blossoms are my favorite subject for sakura x statue photos. Other cherry blossom varieties do work well too. But, in my opinion, the delicate hanging flowers on the weeping cherry blossoms are the best for statue shots. 

Do you like to take photos of cherry blossoms with statues?
