Not sure about the good luck, their primary purpose after diverting rain water was to ward of evil spirits so maybe the two went hand in hand? They are common in gardens in the UK too, quite why I do not know but would imagine it is more to do with amusement than anything else. Kind regards Miles Don,

I love the black and white. It has a very Gothic feel to go with the subject matter. A deluxe telephoto lens or some climbing gear! :-) Does your crouching gargoyle have a name? He must. Melissa Miles,

They are of great interest - keep your eyes open for any that may be Templar ! I fancied taking some pics of the various ones I see just to try and find out of any of them could be related to The Knights Templar but as you mention, you generally need a deluxe telephoto lens. Regular feature for you I hope ! Cheers Rod Miles,
