Deadlines are pressing and the gentle art of blogging is going to have to be put (more or less) on hold for a few weeks...
Every now and again, just to keep things ticking over, I'll be sharing a few photos from our recent visit to Venice (and a couple from earlier pilgrimages) beginning today with some images celebrating the leonine companion of the city's patronal guardian, Saint Mark.
I really love lions (probably because of my childhood obsession with Narnia's Aslan) and winged lions are obviously in a very special cat-egory all their own!
There are a great many lions in Venezia, these are but a few...

ReplyDeleteThat's some really handsome photography Brian. Nice job.
Here in Belgium, the lion is also the emblem of Flanders.
ReplyDeleteLiving in the French speaking part of a country which has been in political no-man's land for 7 - yes seven! - months now, mainly because of a particular well-hated Fleming, I'm a bit off emblematic lions for the moment! Miaow!
That first picture looks as though the sky has been painted! Nice though...
