I caught this Lion watching over a caged wreath on 64th street between Park Avenue and Madison (I think).

Thanks! I liked the accents of gold. But thinking about the swanky neighborhood, it might be real gold.
This was my upper east side homage to Elaine's you ain't going anywhere.
GGP: 16th Dec 2005 - 00:10 GMT
this image is so inescapably upper east side. i know why the caged wreath writhes.
jamie: 16th Dec 2005 - 09:39 GMT
it must be a very swanky neigbourhood. the lion isn't chained to anything.
Peter: 16th Dec 2005 - 15:02 GMT
yup, the upper east side (esp in teh area in question) is extremely swanky... as in, old-money "rich old people" swanky. but even so, i betcha that lion is still cemented in...
Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 16th Dec 2005 - 18:33 GMT
It's probably rigged up to electrocute people who make under six figures.
Peter: 16th Dec 2005 - 18:45 GMT
yeah, cause the "poverty line" for that neighborhood def hovers around six figures...
elaine: 17th Dec 2005 - 18:46 GMT
so precious! do you see - the little gold detail on the fence too. it creates a golden triangle of smugness
elaine: 17th Dec 2005 - 18:50 GMT
oh! i just noticed your reference to 'you ain't goin nowhere' - the phrase chalk and cheese comes to mind, doesn't it?
