Granite Guardian Lion Statue

The granite guardian lion statue sits at the right foreground with a dusting of snow on its head and base. The stone reads cool blue-gray with pale green lichen, photographed in low winter light and tightly cropped so the carved face and mane fill the right side while blurred vines and dried seed pods occupy the left. Small patches of lichen pepper the curls of the mane, and a rim of snow outlines the statue's top.
