Tame Dragon
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 11 April 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
This is one of the gargoyles on the side of the Scott Monument. Not sure if he / she's meant to be a dragon, a griffin or a phoenix, but I liked the dichotomy here (It's my word of the week!)
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Beautiful capture. :) I like how the birds seem to be waiting for something.

The title is almost an oxymoron, too. Love the capture, Dave!! Really a wonderful capture.
