He's majestic and looks strong enough to take on all comers. The bridge in St. Augustine, Florida had two very beautiful lions guarding it. Then "they" got the bright idea of building a new bridge. I think the lions are gone.
And I was thinking pretty much the same as Genie. You almost get the feeling that the lion is musing on old and new—and a bit angry about the carved initials! (My WV is "cardio," and this photo does have heart.)
That lion must have seen a lot... I suspect at least two wars and the time when across the river there was nothing, but sand and wetlands... Great shot!

Love your new banner! Miam-miam
This is a classic photo with the aged lion keeping guard over the river and city in the distance. Just beautiful...

OH WOW! That's amazing! Very strong lion and image!
I like what you've done here.
Looks almost like two combined photos.
I was thinking the same as Steffe.
Sure looks like an old well weathered lion.

Very nice. It has a fantasy or science fiction feel to it. Time to clean the light sensor, though! (The bane of my photographic existence.)
I agree with Erwin. It does have a graphic feel to it. Stunning photo.
magnifique traitement , on dirait que le lion surveille et protége la vallée
Hello, readers! Steffe, it's just one photo, HDR-d a bit to bring out the very dull sky.
Bob, the HDR also brought out my little dirty spot, which I tried to fix but did so, badly! Yeah, got to get it cleaned...!
Almost looks like the Space Needle in the distance. Is that fog covering the sky?
yes..i lke the statue..impressive! best regards
Nice composition and interesting statue!!
Have a wonderful weekend.
I wonder how he feels:)

This is beautiful Bibi. Almost like a painting. Bravo.
