Ever woken up with your mouth feeling like a drain? Spare a thought for gargoyles - for most of them it's their whole purpose in life. Check out these ones in and around Norwich (Norfolk, UK) - and catch them while you can. Gargoyles don't just spew out the rain, they get eaten away by it...their wonderous ugliness getting more faded with each passing shower....
Above: Few gargoyles remain on the Anglican cathedral. This one is over the main west door. |
