One of the mosaics from ancient times, on display at the Neues Museum in Berlin. Snapped this lion and its companions on a visit there back in September.

Frankfurt, Germany

North America doesn’t have a monopoly on silly drivers, as this photo from Frankfurt demonstrates! Snapped back in September 2015.
