Gargoyles always seem to amuse me - but then I'm easily humoured. Designed to stop the rain water from the roof falling directly onto the stonework below. Designed to look evil or at least menacing to remind us that evil can be found outside of the church or cathedral and not inside it or perhaps to ward off evil spirits.
These were all taken at Gloucester Cathedral. It was a beautiful sky that day.
I have always enjoyed gargoyles. Maybe it is their whimsical personalities. Thanks for reminding me to smile today with this post
ReplyDeleteThanks Jean I'm glad they brought a smile to your face.
