Keep smiling

..... just one pat more, yes?
One of the (normally 4 - at the moment just 2) lions made from bronze in front of the Residenz in Munich. It is said that when you give the nose of the head of the lion on the shield a short (!!!!!) pat, it will bring you luck.... who knows???

But it certainly isn't working when you start to pose for pictures, try to rub the nose totally away or just stand there and go on and on and on forever..... No way!!!! ;-))
