Three Lions

In my photographic career I have

made 3 Lion photographs.

One quality they 

have in common is that none of the Lions

are real, that's not deliberate on my part

I promise. 

The top Lion is a new arrival

 in New Plymouth, up

against a mural and outside a 

hotel that opened 2 weeks

ago, a hotel called King & Queen, 

The middle Lion is glass

and living on a window ledge,

it's back facing west towards

the sunset, probably ten

years ago.

The earliest of these photos, the bottom one,

 is the Lion head against a brick wall. 

I had gone for a walk from my 

Copenhagen hotel 15 years ago

and come across some land with

a storage collection of statues like this.
