Here is a street level view of the building we saw last night in the middle photo. Can you tell there are gorgoyles up there?

Okay, this.

Wouldn't you like to know what he's reading?

Technically, these are not gargoyles because they're not water drains. If they are non-functional ornaments, they're called grotesques. Read all about it here on Wikipedia.

Maybe he's reading Finding Your Purpose In Life.


See map.

Interesting point of fact. I never knew that gargoyles were waterspouts, specifically. Thanks for the link.
