Darth Vader
TO find Darth Vader:
* Look up at the closest tower; find the two large points (pinnacles) rising from the corners at the top of the tower, and a much smaller one in the center between them.
* Follow the smaller center pinnacle down and find the first small peaked roof (gablet). Each gablet has a grotesque carving bumping out from the two lower corners. Darth Vader is the "bump" protruding from the right side of the goblet.
Gargoyle or Grotesque?
Even though it is often called a "gargoyle" the Darth Vader carving is really a grotesque, a carving that rainwater runs off and away from the walls. A gargoyle is a rain spout containing either a pipe or a trough.
There's more to my story...
