Lions of the World

Every time we return home from a trip, Amanda makes fun of me for my habit of taking pictures of lion statues. Today all of those pictures are being put to good use: Clogging up the Interweb's storage capacity.

Here are my top-five lion statue pictures from Europe and North America:

5. Asheville, N.C., USA (Biltmore Estate)












4. Paris, France (L'Ecole Militaire?)












3. Barcelona, Spain (Monument a Colon, Place Del Portal de la Pau)












2. Madrid, Spain (Buen Retiro Park)












1. Florence, Italy (Piazza della Signorina)
