[Leica] Lions

[Nathan Wajsman]

Another wonderful series. As it happens, a cat just came across my back yard (I am reading my e-mail on the kitchen terrace, it is early morning here in Spain), stopped to look at me, and then jumped up on the wall that separates our property from the neighbour.

Cheers,
Nathan
