Gargoyling ?

[colinb]

mods - not sure which section these should be in - feel free to move.

 

Shots from, well you know where. It was nice to see some new Gargoyles being situated on some of the outer repaired and restored areas and no Gargoyle was made homeless by these new Chaps.

 

I also shot a few of the famous Lincoln Imp but I have to say he is looking a little sad these days, but I guess he is getting on a tad so I’ll let him rest.

 

 

First up the Monkey on the roof – I quite like this cheeky chappy, which is high up so I couldn’t really get a good angle on this one, he is supposed to look a little like one of the craftsmen.

Superb work again, but I can’t help thinking I have seen similar in some garden centres? Although they would, I assume, be resins moulds not hand carved stone like this one.

And then there is this one which I think is a great piece of work for a modern Gargoyle and simply called Greed.

 

I don’t do a lot of colour popping but I thought this subject might work well.

All them years married and I never got my wife and her family to pose like that. I didn't even know you knew 'em

The angle that No3 has been taken at really makes it in my eyes, a great image

I have to admire the craftsman's attention to detail in including claw marks under the paw of the creature in #2.

I did wonder if anyone would spot that Bill and I think that and the relaxed arm running along the top of raised detail in the last two really add that special touch that shows they love their work.

Great detail and it's great that the craft is still being used both in a traditional manner and with somewhat updated 'models'

 

Well taken

Great representation of fantastic craftsmanship. As already said, it's good to see skills like this still being used. Thanks for sharing these, Colin

The dragon wins it for me. Great stuff.

 

They all work perfectly in mono.
