Conversation among three gargoyles

Description

I'm a gargoyle freak. I mean, can't help photographing gargoyles. If existed a Gargoyleholic Anonimous, I'd be there...

...
- Hello. My name is Juan.
- Hello, Juan!
- I've been one hundred and eighty days without taking pictures at gargoyles...
- Congratulations, Juan! (clapping)
...

Don't know why, but they fascinate me, and the more antique, the more fascinating. Of course, I'm writing about the water sprouts you could find in romanesque churches or gothic cathedrals, not the fantasy fiends or alike.
I had been "sober" for six months, but last weekend we visited the Monastery of Veruela (Spain), and I fell... again. These three were in one of the beautiful cloister's corners. Because of the architectural design, they were, more or less, facing the other, in some kind of eternal, stony, conversation.
What have they seen through the ages, and what could they tell?...

Some comments would be great!!

Hi! I too like gargoyles sooo much.

This photo is well done! 🌻

BW is my passion; btw, here it's perfect for the subject; the title is ironic and witty: great; the perspective is good! The framing almost perfect ! Just, the lower gargoyle doesn't come out fully, but it may be the structure of the building... 🦋

My compliments! 🔮 🎃 🔮
