Grotesques

Spotted on gate posts during our walk in Branston today.

[Susan Wakely]

I wonder who or what they symbolise.

[Melvina McCaw]

Neat find!

[Carole Sandford]

They look a bit fed up!

[Larry Steager]

The hand to the face is very cool. Nice capture.

[Babs]

I thought the same as Carole @carole_sandford What a great find.

[Pat]

How interesting and so differently worn, were they in the same place? I think they are great.

[Diana]

I love the thinker on the right, lovely find and shot.

[Louise]

Interesting find!

[moni kozi]

Very interesting. How big are these things? Judging by the greenery i see on the right one, I'd say about 20 or 30 cm high?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

they are so neat

[Issi Bannerman]

Reflective grotesques!

[haskar]

[Molly]

They seem to have endured different conditions? Very engaging features a fascinating find.

@wakelys @bubblequeen @carole_sandford @larrysphotos @onewing @ludwigsdiana @lmsa @koalagardens @jamibann @haskar Thank you. Friends we were with explained the difference between gargoyles and grotesques. I hadn’t realised they were a thing!

@pattyblue @miss_molly @monikozi Thank you. They were about 50 cm tall and on either side of a gated driveway to a house. I think the one on the right had survived better because it was protected by a large bush.
