Project 365 - Day 19

Grotesquely Tired

Not even a month in and I'm walking around my house a 9 o'clock at night just looking for anything to take a picture of...

Here we have one of my favorite gargoyles that I have collected over the years. Turns out I know very little about some things I collect. In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. So technically, this is called a grotesque. Why the lesson in stone architecture? It makes the title of this picture sound clever.
