Modern Gargoyle
When we were walking around Savannah I had to stop when I saw this at the end of a down spout:
While doing research to try and find a name for this, I learned that gargoyles were the original roof gutters, used to divert rain water away from a building. How did I not know that? Anyway, I thought this was a fantastic decorative touch, especially in an urban setting.

Scary!
Your dad (or "Mr. Know It All About Weather") and I didn't know that either. I can't tell if it's old but think I want one!
What a great idea, very interesting. If you know where i ca buy something like that please tell me, thanks a lot
i love this!
That's creepy. At first glance, I thought it was a strange kind of fish that suddenly burst out of the pipe, only to find out later that it's a gutter. Whew!
