Notre Dame
The exterior of this 800-year-old cathedral
is well-known for its many statues over the massive doors.
The broader view reveals gargoyles and chimeras in various poses.
Do you think that this one might look like
J. R. R. Tolkien's Gollum?

Absolutely Genie. I can hear him sniveling, "We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses."
Une figure d'homme, mais des pieds de démon.
You have a fine talent for spotting these marvelous details on these beautiful churches. Your Sunday series is always a pleasure to view.
One of the most famous gargoyles of all time, and that Cathedral really is amazing with so many wonderful features.
Gollum is perfect! This is a wonderful image, Genie. What character in that sculpture!
My precious! was wondering where he was gone ... :o)
Nice detail!!! Actually, he looks more like one of the flying monkeys in the original Wizard of Oz!!!
There are so many cool gargoyles on that church. Great shot.
Marvelous close up.
