Gargoyle

Posted by Brian (West Lafayette, United States) on 4 November 2007 in Architecture.

This unhappy-looking gargoyle sits on a building on Main Street in my home town. The owner of the building is a firm of lawyers, which might explain his expression...

Marvellous, absolutely outstanding composition, superb in every way! Truly!! ....but hey, i must object, dear friends! ;) i was a lawyer for a good 7 years, and, honestly, always tried to help relieve pain and suffering, rather than add to it (!)….it’s not quite fair if we’re all being tarred with the same brush! but, must say too that i do empathise with your sentiments here. i don’t have that many lawyer friends myself, actually! too many lawyers i’ve met (including some peers, ex-colleagues and ex-bosses, regrettably) do seem to fall within the stereotype of being “money-grubbers” who worship no God except themselves and money.

Your image here today certainly evokes thoughts for me of terrific John Grisham novels, which I happen to like very much! But hey, there are the courageous minority of lawyers out there, who do actually have this thing called VALUES, and who (horrors) actually care about something called justice! Oh well. End of gripe. ;)

Is this an actual waterspout Brian or more along the lines of a grotesque? An excellent capture whatever it is.
I'm not a fan of gargoyles but something about this one is appealing.
