Gargoyles

We all have one or two friends who could easily have made the grade to adorn the eaves of old churches as gargoyles to scare the populous. 🤣😂😁

During my recent trips to Barcelona I have been doing much more looking up and a couple of days ago wondered at the gargoyles around the back of the Cathedral. The figures here are animals, from both reality and fantasy, and are well crafted, and obviously serve a purpose to deliver rainwater away from the walls of the Cathedral. Fortunately I've not been around to test their effectiveness yet.

A mooing cow.

An unbelievable unicorn.

And a Barcelona hound - does anyone else see Scooby Doo?
