Falling will never hurt you. It's the landing.

Awesome cartoon and great advice 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺, but before I die, it is my fondest wish to find an actual cliff that looks like those we have seen thousands of times in cartoons

Maybe Monument Valley is a place to start. 😁

On the Chrysler Building in NYC there are Gargoyles by the stainless steel spire. I would like to climb to the top and just hang out snapping photos. But people down below will get upset. Nah….. Better not do it cause I don’t want the gargoyle to bite me.

There is a well known historical photo of the great photographer Margaret Bourke White
on her knees with a Graflex SLR taking pictures on one of the Chrysler Building's gargoyles.

If you look at the image very carefully you will see that I am not anywhere around there. Neither am I the person taking the photograph.

Here is a URL to that photograph. It is an Eagle though.

I wonder where the other photographer was too? He/She must have been on the edge as well......

What an amazing photo. I would like to parachute jump from a plane to mail a great photo of the gargoyle. However, with my luck, the parachute will get tangled on the gargoyle’s beak! I can just hear myself yelling at the top of my lungs and no one down below hears me because of all the cars honking.

I have never heard of Margaret Bourke White. Looking at her work she has given me great inspiration.

I stand corrected. Thank you. I was told that they were rainspouts when rain cascades down the spires.

It's New York. If you pay the right person you can go anywhere!
