In architecture, gargoyles, or gurgoyles (from the French gargouille, originally the throat or gullet, cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, and similar words derived from root gar, to swallow, the word representing the gurgling sound of water; Ital. doccione; Ger. Ausguss, Wasserspeier), are the carved terminations to a spout which conveys water away from the gutters.

How scary in the daylight... I could imagine the gurgouille after sunset. I get the creeps.Great capture though.

If you admire nature for its creations why don't you visit the gallery of its reporter...
Lovely colours, Pier ! I have a definite weakness about blue and white ... Plus a spouty thing so ugly that almost beautiful make it all together a very nice image. High marks and congratulations, Pier.
BTW Thank you very very much for the extensive linguistic instruction which is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED !
