the back burner

statuary #4

I still can't get over how many lions there are in this city. Makes me think in Narnian imagery a LOT. It's interesting on a political level as well, since the lion is the symbol of the Flemish, even though the people here largely speak French. We're on the Flemish side of the country, but the city is an independent capital zone (sorta like D.C.). All that to say, I'm not sure what language these lions prefer. And who put them here.
