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.

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.
