A Disturbance in the Force
I just thought I'd put up a picture (or 2) of the gargoyle in the West terminal baggage claim area at Denver International Airport.
I find it interesting that the gargoyle has an avian head, (the penitent Avian Lords mentioned by the C's?), a reptilian tail and a human body, and that it appears to be upset. Is it upset at being in a suitcase? Considering the links that have been posited between the automatic baggage handling system (that is no longer being used to handle baggage, according to a press release early last year by United Airlines) and a human transport system, it makes me wonder what this avian headed gargoyle is really upset about. ;)
Here is a closeup...
I've always been a big fan of gargoyles, so, naturally, this one caught my eye. With all the other bizarre artwork in this airport, lord only knows what this really symbolizes.
