Guardian of the City - When Gargoyles Take a Break!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting photo print, we catch a glimpse of an unexpected side to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Perched high above the bustling cityscape, a mischievous gargoyle takes a momentary break from its centuries-old duty of warding off evil spirits. With its stone wings outstretched and eyes twinkling mischievously, this architectural marvel seems to have come alive at dusk. As the sun sets over the picturesque skyline, our friendly sentinel enjoys breathtaking views across Europe's most romantic city. Captured by photographer David Barnes, this stunning image showcases not only France's rich history but also highlights the intricate detail and craftsmanship that went into creating these iconic statues. The delicate carvings on its body tell tales of ancient legends and mythical creatures. While we often associate gargoyles with their fearsome appearance, it's heartwarming to see one taking in the beauty around it. Perhaps even guardians need some time for reflection and appreciation! So next time you visit Paris, don't forget to look up! You might just spot one of these whimsical creatures perched atop Notre Dame Cathedral - offering protection during the day and enjoying breathtaking sunsets when night falls.
