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.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! and love the brick archway, too!
ReplyDeleteHe looks fierce!
ReplyDeleteLike it reminds me of my Griffin
ReplyDeleteHe certainly looks like a fine example of one!
ReplyDeleteHe's quite impressive!
ReplyDeleteWow, he looks fierce.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever he is, he is perfectly named and perfectly situated.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the noble lion, and stay for the children's books.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteFerocious looking, in a very noble way!
ReplyDeletehee hee... :-)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he just fit so perfectly into the arch. He's a wonderful Griffin guard, the books are safe as :)
ReplyDeleteI like that it's guarding the library. Good job, Lion Griffin.
ReplyDeleteYes he looks fierce, but there's also a hint of a smile.
ReplyDeleteYes, a griffin I think - symbol of the City of London.
ReplyDeleteWow, here the books are safe!
ReplyDeleteI did a series of three lions yesterday. This guy would have fit nicely.
ReplyDeleteGreat detail and perspective!
