Description
this is a bocca di leone, one of several found in the Doge's palace in Venice. Into the mouth could be posted secret denunciations about tax evasion for instance. We did notice that the mouth of this one had been blocked! Scary!!

What an image! What details and so inviting an expression on that face! I love this shot and the palpable sense of history dripping from this. Quite marvelous and I'm really taken by the warm colors and crisp details.
