Anyway, on the way back home we stopped in the University District of Seattle for a bite to eat (just the place when you're craving cheap teriyaki) and saw an apartment building decorated with these faces. I assume it's Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame, although there was no bell tower so I'm not sure what the significance is. Either way, the faces make for an unusual facade!

Quasimodo?

Hi there, next time I'm in the PNW, I'll try to make it to Bellingham! Time just flies when I'm over your way...
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this is Quasimodo ;-) but he looks just like many of the old, old, medieval faces adorning churches, cathedrals and buildings over here!
Oh, he makes me laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not certain how I'd feel about him being right under my window.
