Valar Morghulis
I didn't mean this photo to be particularly morbid but it reminded me of a scene from the temple of the May Faced God in the TV series Game of Thrones. If you've watched the series you'l recognise the title as being a recurrent phrase and one that was used to open the doors of the temple.
The face is actually found outside the village church at Sheen in the Peak District. There are a number of gargoyle heads that are lined up, looking at the sky, on an outside wall of the church - although the church was rebuild in the 16th and 19th centuries the gargoyles are remains of the original church built in 1185 so they are very special medieval artefacts.
I've always been fascinated by them and decided it was time to have a go some photos - There was some very strong sunlight casting deep shadows when I was there for this shot which limited what I could get but this one very much benefited from that wonderful light illuminating the top of the face.
