Tuesday, March 10, 2015. The Gargoyles of Mont Saint Michel. To celebrate this week's book launch of my latest novel, Quicksand. Set partly at Mont Saint Michel, here's a closer look at the weather-worn gargoyles of Mont Saint Michel. Looking up at the gargoyles on the Abbey tour. Weather-worn gargoyles visible from the cloisters. The Abbey's spire, with Saint Michael on top and dozens of gargoyles below. And on the steep and winding main street leading up to the Abbey, you can guy your very own gargoyle.

Monday, June 24, 2013. Gargoyles of Cambridge, England: Our Lady and the English Martyrs. Our Lady and the English Martyrs, aka OLEM, is a beautiful Catholic church in Cambridge, England, that's covered in gargoyles. It's a Gothic Revival church built in the late 1800s, and it's one of the largest Catholic churches in the UK. I stumbled upon this church by accident when I was on tagging along on a day trip to Cambridge and had a few hours on my own to explore the city. Monday, June 24, 2013. Construction...

http://www.gargoylegirl.com/2015/01/the-gargoyles-of-notre-dame-through.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. The Gargoyles of Notre Dame Through a Modern Lens. The famous "thinker" gargoyle that sits high atop Notre Dame in Paris is the carving that inspired Dorian, the gargoyle character in The Accidental Alchemist. Even though I've climbed the 387 steps to the gallery of gargoyles many times, whenever I visit Paris I can't resist doing it once more. Selective focus lens and with a Holga plastic camera.

Gargoyle Girl: Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, France
http://www.gargoylegirl.com/2013/07/mont-saint-michel-in-normandy-france.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, France. Dangerous tides and quicksand surround the Mont, which is why it was such a strategic location throughout French history. In past centuries, people used to have to wait for the tides to recede for a safe causeway to be above the water. A raised road was built, which has recently been replaced with a dam and small bridge. The castle-like structure that rises our of the center of the Mont is the abbey. Monday, July 22, 2013.

Gargoyle Girl: Mont Saint Michel Part II: The Abbey
http://www.gargoylegirl.com/2013/07/mont-saint-michel-part-ii-abbey.html
Monday, July 29, 2013. Mont Saint Michel Part II: The Abbey. The building that gives Mont Saint Michel its distinctive skyline silhouette is the abbey. It's a church plus monastery and cloisters. A statue of St. Michael (once a patron saint of the French Royal Army) can be seen at the top of the abbey spire. The abbey has a fascinating history. I posted some additional Mont Saint Michel photos. All these photos were shot on 35mm film during my 2000 visit. Monday, July 29, 2013. Mont Saint Michel Abbey.
