Knox Details

These wonderful carvings and details are found over the entrance to Knox College from the front campus at U of Toronto. Considering the age of the building they are still in great shape!

    I like these odd little creatures and the owl. I can see from left to right, Speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil! Great capture, and artful design indeed.

    Very nice...I'm thinking the same as some of the others about the faces - speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil!

    I iamgine they get cleaned every now and then! They are wonderful, just like in old churches. I wonder what their meanings are here!

    Don't you wish we could still afford to employ artisans to create buildings like this?
