Or perhaps I should call them frogoyles! Look closer…
I have known about these for a long time as the only gargoyles in downtown Huntsville, but only recently took close-up photos showing their amphibian nature. They are on the top floor of the Terry-Hutchens Building at Jefferson and Clinton.
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown.
I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles.
I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.
Monkeys and frogs on buildings? That’s a pretty cool place.
Thanks, Mark – yeah I like it here!
