This gargoyle is on a cathedral in Mechelen, Antwerp, Belgium.
Gargoyles were originally designed as a tool in the shape of a grotesque or chimera, with a spout to direct water away from the roof and side of a building. Today it is common for grotesques and chimeras that are used only for ornamentation to also be described as gargoyles.
According to legend, gargoyles ward off evil spirits.
3-1/2" x 4-1/2" (8.89cm x 11.43cm)

Photography by Eddy Van Leuven of Flanders, Belgium. Van Leuven has been taking photos since childhood, a hobby shared with his father, who gave him his first camera.
I am proud to display a bit of his work. I especially like his nature and architectural photos. And his people. Basically I think he's a genius.
