Close-up of an intricate gargoyle on the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris, France. These stone gargoyles serve as a rain spout of sorts, redirecting water from the roof of the structure away from the building. Paris is full of small details like this on many of the famous structures often surprise and fascinate me. I took this particular photo on a visit to the Basilica back in 2008 and have returned to Paris several times over the years. #Travel

This gargoyle is standing still.
They only move around at night when no one is watching.
The gargoyles are great, as long as they don't come to life!
