Interesting gargoyles

Since I was using 70-300 Lens and clicking continuously, a local walking by, stopped and asked me what I was interested in and shooting. Once I pointed him my 'Subject', even he stood still for a long time, enjoying these beautiful items.

In architecture, a gargoyle (/ˈɡɑːrɡɔɪl/) is a carved or formed grotesque[1]:6–8 with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between. Architects often used multiple gargoyles on a building to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastical animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is directed from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.[2]
