In the city, this is the mother lode of Gargoyles, Chimeras and Grotesques! I was overwhelmed with trying to photograph every one of them. I'm sure I'd missed a good number of them. Hopefully I'd photographed enough to prompt you to go see them in person. They are spectacular! Make sure to bring your binoculars or even better if you can fly. They were shot over a two-day period because it started raining the first time just as I'd arrived at the church.
These two little cuties are located on Claremont Avenue.
Location: 490 Riverside Drive between 122nd & 120th Streets (NYC). The tallest church in the United States. Completed in 1930.
Just want to say thank you. What extraordinary & beautiful pictures! And these latest of Riverside Church... You are certainly intrepid.
I also thank you so much for sharing these awsome photos. If not for you how else would we ever see all these beautiful facets of a magnificent piece of architecture. Thanks so much.
