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

Ah, come on... your ability is innate. Plus you always have a lot of !PIZZA with you. That gives you energy and creativity.
Good shots.
