A perching pigeon seems to take no notice
 of this lion's fierce visage.

    The golden light is perfect for this florentine Lion.

    The eyes of the lion even seem to be echoing the fact that there's a big fat juicy pigeon just out of range. Great shot of a sculpture with humour.

    terrific evening (?) light and colours on the walls and on the lion, with a very defining piece of shadow!
    the pigeon on the lion's head clearly shows that there ain't no safe place on earth ... (for the lion, i mean ... ;-)
