I like the somewhat contrasting colors of the moss and the column -- great detail shot.

Neat perspective and incredible, aged and weathered architecture which has so many stories to tell. Superbly captured

Une superbe gargouille pour effrayer les mauvais esprits et les ennemis !! beaucoup de contrastes dans la pierre, le rose et le vert se marient bien dans cette image.

J'aime cette mousse vert-du-temps sur ta gargouille de pierre qui ouvre sa gueule de gouttière inspirée*

A magnificent gargoyle.... as gargoyles go Marie-Helene. Well, I think if I were as old as he is, I wouldn't be a picture of friendliness either! Great image Mari-Helene. Well seen and well captured!
