The Lonely Monster

On my Postrossing profile, I state that I love gargoyles (I do!). Natalia sent me this postcard through Postcrossing. It depicts an old house (built in 1909) on one of the oldest streets in Kyiv (Ukraine): Velyka Zhytomyrska. According to the sender, it is the only gargoyle in the city!

(Although technically, it is not a gargoyle, because it does not thrown rain water clear of the building.)

    1. I love when I get very specific pictures from a place I have not been to. It is a bit like travelling :)
