As I walk around Oxford and the the Colleges, I often get the feeling that I'm being watched. When I look up, I indeed see faces "watching" me. All over Oxford's buildings are gargoyles (technically
'grotesques' as these don't spout water) - some in the shape of faces,
some animals, some entire people. Many of them are quite funny looking. I hear there is one that is even picking his nose but I haven't been told where. The challenge is to find it among the thousands of gargoyles that watch over this city.
