ABC Wednesday - G is for Gargoyle

This gargoyle sits on a corner of Toronto's Old City Hall, overlooking Bay Street I believe.
Charming, don't you think?
I suspect I look a bit like him/it today.... will winter and all of it's various bugs never be over?!!
Please stop by and visit ABC Wednesday.

    I am fascinated by gargoyles. Could I have found one to photograph, that would have been my "G" choice for this week. Since I did not, it is not.:)

    Very nice photo.

    Cool gargoyle. I like the way the green of the leaves frames the gargoyle.

    Gargoyles are pretty scary looking to me but I think the artwork is very interesting. Great choice for the letter G.

    This guy is nice looking for a gargoyle...and the greenery around helps to soften his look. Great shot...good G choice.

    The gargoyles on our cathedrals look frightening, but this one has a nicer appearance!

    Great photos. E is for eerie is especially delightful. Don't you just love how the themes scaffold out thinking?

    Seems like everyone loves gargoyles - I'm so glad I made this choice. Greensboro Daily Photo your comment about themes is so true and what a neat way to put it "the themes scaffold out thinking".
