Gargoyles make great Halloween decorations too!

Gargoyles are a very cool way to express your sense of style and decor, especially around Halloween.

They also make great conversation pieces at dinner parties and events.

Very cool compilation about gargoyles. :) Perhaps you could add some lore to this lens? I am curious as to what their purpose was.

Fun lens! I used to live in NYC. I was always fascinated by the gargoyles around the Dakota Bldg (the building most known, unfortunately, as being where John Lennon was shot). New york City and Paris certainly have their share of gargoyles. They are very definitely conversation pieces! 5*s!
