Gargoyles out in the Wild!

I was in Peru, and came across a building with some gargoyles that were within my iPhone camera range.


Gargoyle on Building in Arequipa, Peru
Here is the first of four shots. This building — like a lot of buildings in the central district of Arequipa — have a large interior courtyard accessible from the sidewalk through a gate. These gargoyles all were in this inner courtyard.

This one, the second photograph, was probably 20 feet or so from the gargoyle in the corner.

Beringer Winery Fountain's Gargoyle Face
Let's jump back to California, Northern California, up to Napa Valley. This fountain is at Beringer Winery in St. Helena in California's Napa Valley.

I kind of think the fountain head gargoyles look like the gargoyle that I sell that I call the Ugly Gargoyle.
