[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This is a large granite carving guard Lion which i mistook for a dog, around 2 metres tall,at a site around 1 hour NW of Shenyang. It is a hillside which has the unusual effect of feeling that moving downhill actually feels like moving up hill and on the other track, going uphill feels like you are going downhill. A most strange sensation.

The following is some detail of the area the lion is protecting!

Weird Slope of Shenyang

The 100-metre-long Weird Slope is found near Qingshuitai Town in the northern suburbs of Shenyang and the Shenyang-Changchun Expressway, and 35km from downtown Shenyang. The weirdness about it is that auto drivers and bicyclists can effortlessly slide up the slope but have to go down the distance by stepping on the accelerator or pedaling real hard. The slope is part of a scenic zone that also includes the Xiangshan Mountain, the Chain Bridge and the Peng'en Temple.

Hi Murray
This big statue of the guard is impressive. Nice sharpness and cropping.
Excellent report
Bertrand

Hi Murray,

This is a hughe statue and it is impressive. The red flowers and the fence are nicely framing the statue. The details of the artwork are clear and precise. The colors of the forest is contrasting well with colors of the statue. Have a nice day.

Hi Murray

Good catch of the guardian lion, with excellent sharpness. I like the splash of red, added by the row of flowers at left. Well done!
