Interesting photo. There are 24 courses of brick in the wall behind
the irises, plus the capstones. Assuming even small bricks, plus the
mortar joints, 3.5"x 24 +6 = 90". Given a false sense of perspective
because of camera angle, one could still estimate the height as between
60-72". This would place the height of Mr. Pilkington (?) at around 5'.
Was PURISSIMA consistently this tall, or was someone feeding this clump
buffalo hormones?
