West facade, north door, ever-popular Last Judgment |
In the archivolt, a wise virgin |
And a wise ex-virgin; no, a foolish ex-virgin; whatever |
Judgment up closer, note tiny resurrection scenes at bottom |
Damnation; not least, a bishop |
Coronation of Mary, major big tympanum |
Abraham and Isaac; and big knife |
Jews burning...a favorite Christian Medieval theme |
Slimey creatures |
All in a row |
More of the towers |
More menagerie |
Rare female gargoyle |
Looking up one of the towers...Cistercian severity? |
From the cathedral looking toward lower (and newer) Laon, much battered in the WWs |

Love the towers and gargoyles.
