A rather shady profile, isn’t it?

And a negative, rather icy profile.

And a full frontal but really shiny nose. It decorates a headstone and I’m pretty sure that nobody foresaw that the nose would be the shiniest part more than 100 years later.

For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: hot and cold.

Why not go to extremes for a change?
