Not Quite Aslan

Picture of lion outside Leeds Town Hall.

The above photo show some detail on one of the four sculpted stone lions that guard Victoria Square outside Leeds Town hall.

These Portland stone lions were made by William Day Keyworth (1817-1897) who was born in Hull. The lions were installed as 2 pairs in 1867 nine years after the Town Hall was built. Sadly all four of these once magnificent beasts are showing quite a bit of weathering and now look far from their best.

How I got Here...
I was walking down to make a coffee in Saltaire at Massarella's Art Gallery where my friend at a shop. I was mooching about there... My good friend Ellen used to a medical rep. She then said i dont want to worry you but I have called 999 for a ambulance... She then said look at the mirror in bathroom.... then.. I woke in hospital...
Then 5 months later... I have become Disabled.. Stroke, I lost ... job, flat, not mention my car... now at last I look much better...
So much for dreams... yorkshiredailyphoto.com I ran with that for about 5 years, every day taking a photograph to put on site.
