Grotesques


GROTESQUES OF WINCHESTER. Gargoyles without water spouts, Grotesques are protective stone features found on medieval buildings.

I don't know why, but gargoyles and grotesques always attract my attention...

  2. Love these. I always wish they were a little bit easier to see - and photograph - though!
