Faces in Stone (and other matter)

Shortly into our trip, I began to notice a common visual element to locations we were visiting: freaky faces. Usually in the form of a sculpture and frequently the part of a fountain, they were carvings in wood, granite or other material of mythical, historical or fictional characters. As we distanced ourselves from Rome and grew closer to Brussels, the medium and the message both became more bizarre. From Bacchus in Florence to an overwhelmed tourist in Wurzburg to a mouth-bleeding piece of graffiti in Antwerpen. Here's a little collection of some photos I snapped of faces during our trip.
