Library Guardian
This noble creature is found by the main entrance to the Lillian H Smith Library on College St and does a fine job guarding this place of knowledge. This library is part of the Toronto Public Library system and it is known for containing an extensive collection of children's books as well a collection of science fiction. I think he is a Lion Griffin.

You picked the right word to describe this fellow, "noble" is perfect.
beautiful! and love the brick archway, too!
He looks fierce!
Like it reminds me of my Griffin
He certainly looks like a fine example of one!
He's quite impressive!
Wow, he looks fierce.
What ever he is, he is perfectly named and perfectly situated.
I'd go for the noble lion, and stay for the children's books.
I have really have been treading on your territory so much recently that I have a photo of the same entrance. My photo includes both winged lions. I like your closeup... it's excellent.
Ferocious looking, in a very noble way!
hee hee... :-)
Doesn't he just fit so perfectly into the arch. He's a wonderful Griffin guard, the books are safe as :)
I like that it's guarding the library. Good job, Lion Griffin.
Yes he looks fierce, but there's also a hint of a smile.
Yes, a griffin I think - symbol of the City of London.
Wow, here the books are safe!
I did a series of three lions yesterday. This guy would have fit nicely.
Great detail and perspective!
