In which I go gargoyle hunting with the telephoto lens

Have I mentioned how much I love playing with this camera today?

I was waiting for the students to finish wandering around the cathedral and took pictures of some of the interesting stuff.  Then I remembered I had a telephoto lens in my camera bag and started hunting gargoyles.

Here's a clock which has a kind of vanitas background.

A lion protected from pigeons.

There was an observation platform on one of the towers; unfortunately, I ran out of time and never went up in it.
