The Pride of Waterloo

I had an early start today as I wanted to go to the gym this morning before work, so I was the first one there at 8am and my friend joined me shortly afterwards. Normally I would go to Zumba when I finish work, but as the forecast was for it to be 28 degrees today, the thought of doing Zumba when I could sit out on the terrace was a definite no, no.

It's a beautiful day with not a cloud in the sky, and I've been wanting to get a 'close up' of the Lion with the sun on him, so I put my camera in the car and drove to the Butte du Lion after my gym session.

I had to take it from ground level and from quite a distance as it's fenced off, and I didn't want to pay to go in, but I'm quite pleased with the end result.

For those of you who don't know about the Butte du Lion, have a look at my earlier blip and you can also see him LARGE

Anyway, my lunch break is over, so time to get back to work - hope the sun's shining where you are!
