A statue of a woman atop the a Bodleian library building, with a crane in the far background just behind her, perfectly-in-line

This was too funny an angle not to capture. The combination of the way the statue appears to be clutching her chest from this angle, as if in despair, and the crane's hook hanging in the background like it's about to pick her up without her knowledge... I thought it was hilarious when I noticed it.

I showed it to a few people who didn't seem to share that opinion, but I'm remaining strong on this one - it's the pinnacle of modern comedy.
