In order to learn about and get practice with flying close to buildings, we made several flights around the tower of Main Library. To focus our efforts, we specifically targeted the 8 gargoyles that reside near the top of the tower. (We eventually photographed all of the library&#8217;s gargoyles&#8211; there are 36 of them!&#8211; though most were photographed\u00a0without the drone.)<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"
