A gargoyle (it will let water out) |
And the opposite number |
I (and probably most of us) like a bit of trivial knowledge.
At a National Gallery (London) talk last month I learnt that Gargoyles (from the French Gargouille meaning Throat/Gullet ) should be a water passing addition, typically on a Gothic style construction - here are a couple deployed ornamental-ly in someone's front garden.
And here are a couple of Dogs.
And The Leap is Made
366 images and 365 of them taken by me (this was the first) - it's at an end now.This is the image that brings the project to its conclusion and it's hopefully with a smile that we finish (before the next 'idea' gets underway) - I will try and get more interest for what I've done as it's been good (for me) and reckon others too could enjoy - if you want to have a go get in touch or have a look at Noah Scalin's book.
And I don't think it'll be quiet but a bit less red |
And here's the link to a 20 minute video of the whole lot - get yourself a cup of tea and a bit of cake and enjoy ..
