Cornered Administrator

Uploaded: November 15, 2013

Description

Midway up the cathedral's west facade is "The Administrator" gargoyle. He sports a beard and wears glasses,
and is seen clutching a huge millstone chained around his neck, onto which is carved a depiction
of the cathedral's girl's school. The school itself is located just to the northwest; in memory of an actual
school administrator, the gargoyle is positioned to look directly at the school.

Love gargoyles, Chris, and this one is a memorable character. Nicely framed for impact with the corner placement. #10899558

Lol, what a great gargoyle, and it made me laugh that he was in memory of a school administrator. :-) A wonderfully "Budny" image, perfect for the theme too. #10900032
