This gargoyle, from the Cathedral of St. Andre in Bordeaux, is incredibly nifty. The dark side is gargoyle, post-500 years of dirt and pollution. The light side is gargoyle, post-500 years of dirt and a cleaning with a laser that heated and blasted away the dirt, leaving the original stone completely intact (or so the french claim. :) The entire cathedral is undergoing this treatment.
