Feline

Next to the red stone building with carvings the other day stands another stately old building. We stood and looked at the building for a while, although we have looked at it many times. 
Those bears are nice, said my husband (there are two on either side of the gate). 
What? I said, those are no bears. A big feline, tiger or lion. 
No, bears, my husband maintained. 
We went closer and peeked. 
They have got a curly mane, so they are lions, I said. 
Once at home we googled the building and I was of course right.:-) What else?
