Mindowaskin Park in Westfield, New Jersey. Another one of the beautiful small towns in New Jersey. Don't judge our state by the NJ Turnpike or Newark!
This mural is on an embankment above Jersey Avenue between 10th and 11th. It faces east toward the Holland Tunnel. This was done by Jersey Joe.
Just to the left there embankment continues around the corner and parallels 10th. It's about 140 yards long, cannot be seen from the street, and is covered with grafs from one end to the other.
Set 6 miles from St Helier in Jersey this milestone stands near to Rozel Harbour outside Milestone Cottage. Dated 1838 when parishioners built roads down into General Don's network.
Bored on Sunday 6th November I dragged Chris out on a Gargoyle photo safari around Jersey....
In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls is important because running water erodes the mortar between the stone blocks.[1] Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastic animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.
The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet";[2] cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, gargula ("gullet" or "throat") and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, "throat"; Spanish gárgola, "gargoyle"). It is also connected to the French verb gargariser, which means "to gargle."[3] The Italian word for gargoyle is doccione o gronda sporgente, an architecturally precise phrase which means "protruding gutter." The German word for gargoyle is Wasserspeier, which means "water spitter." The Dutch word for gargoyle is waterspuwer, which means "water spitter" or "water vomiter." A building that has gargoyles on it is "gargoyled."
A grotesque figure is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. These are also usually called gargoyles in layman's terminology,[2] although the field of architecture usually preserves the distinction between gargoyles (functional waterspouts) and non-waterspout grotesques.
Gargoyles are said to scare off and protect from any evil or harmful spirits.

I had wanted to see some Garmin Cervelo riders, but missed them while I was taking pictures at the Sky bus. I caught Thor just in time to snap his yellow jersey.
