weary lion door knocker


morose lion door knocker, originally uploaded by jumu556.

I felt like posting one of my black and white photos that i just uploaded. This one is a door knocker on the door entering the town hall clock tower on old town square. This building is so old that the clock is astronomical and is based on the principle that the earth is the center of the universe. You can imagine how much this lion has seen pass him by... And maybe surmise why he might have such an expression?

The snow is probably gone from his forehead by today, I took it last Thursday and it's been raining and above freezing all day. Warmer here than in NC, I hear!

It reminds me of Aslan for some reason. Right before he goes to let the witch kill him to take away Edmund's guilt. Have fun in the warmth! : )
