Description

The image showcases the Lion's Mound in Belgium. The image is taken from a farm field which morphs into the hill which the Lion is on top of. The hill is in a cone shape which leads the viewers eyes to the Lion and the few people who stand at the foot of the lion. There are patches of shrubs on the hill and a fence that separates the farming fields from the mound. The lion looks the other way but his paw holds a round shaped object against the ground.
