Such a sad face on this face! Mascarons are masks found on buildings that are meant to ward off evil spirits. They are often grotesque and scary looking mythical creatures. This little fella is on the North Portal of the Cathedral in Strasbourg, France. They are often mistaken for Gargoyles - Gargoyles usually feature a spout in their mouth and were used to drain water away from the building.

I love to photograph the world that I live in...be it at home in my own backyard or during my travels. I also enjoy manipulating photographs to create works of art that allow me to share memories of places I have been.
