picturecrossing No.518 FOUND in Bristol
FOUND: 4/1/13
"Hello! I've found #518 attached to my road sign in Bristol UK, outside a big grey church.

It's of a scared and slightly-guilty looking gargoyle, wearing a Santa hat. I thought at first it may've been associated with the church, but I'm not sure it's the kind of thing they'd support. Maybe that would explain the gargoyle's expression.

I found it on Easter Monday but left it alone, went home and checked your website. Then just now, waking past it again after work, I decided to take the gargoyle in and look after him for a bit.

I will set him free at some point in the future, hopefully in a very different part of the world. And I hope whoever finds it then also tells you.

Lovely thing to do!
Cheers, Jake M.

PX No.540

picturecrossing No.540 (SX No.453) Another virtually blank shot. It was very hard to keep these pictures covered in the freezing wind so I got several blank or obscured shots. You could barely make out some lines and people walking in the back of this picture shot at the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin, so I drew on it and collaged with trash and found objects.
