Lions, pigeons, bridges

The city of St.Petersburg is full of lions (in architecture field, I mean). Four of them guard the famous hanging Lionsbridge over Fontanks river. The spot is not easy to took pics cause, uh, folks are doing selfies here almost non-stop!

And ten more pics I brought from a walk on same day back in March. Sadly, I have not enough time and energy for photos processing; there always way much more fresh photos than free time I can spend playing with them ;)))

That guy in the black jacket is most likely to be Asian, maybe some south east asian having almost the same facial features as me. !LOLZ but hey I can only guess.

I believe you guys don't have a lion there, right? Having lion as the guards must be so nice, hahah

Enjoyable outing watching the world go by, people celebrating the outdoors although still fresh, looking at the clothing.

Northern hemisphere appeared to have gone Lion crazy at one point in time, here they roam in certain large wild parks, always exciting to see, although none go seek them out on foot.
