I most often take photos of the stone lion called 'Peace' (see HERE) that sits atop its pedestal in the centre of Saltaire. That's because I love its pose, licking its paws, and because at one time it was the only one that you could capture without overhanging tree branches getting in the way. Since they chopped down the big trees a few years ago, that problem has been removed - and with it the tendency for the lions to go green with lichen. For a change, here is his opposite number, 'War', looking ready to spring off his perch if provoked. (Rumour has it that they do roam the streets at night. I'm never awake to verify this... )
Please send him down to Westminster, he could gobble a few up whom we certainly would not miss.....
ReplyDeleteHe looks ready for anything!
ReplyDeleteGood to see a well-cared-for statue, even if he's in his warlike mode. Perhaps his kitten side comes out when he goes roaming at night!
ReplyDeleteHe looks a bit friendly to me.
ReplyDeleteA formidable fellow!
