I caught this Lion watching over a caged wreath on 64th street between Park Avenue and Madison (I think).

Thanks! I liked the accents of gold. But thinking about the swanky neighborhood, it might be real gold.
This was my upper east side homage to Elaine's you ain't going anywhere.

this image is so inescapably upper east side. i know why the caged wreath writhes.
jamie: 16th Dec 2005 - 09:39 GMT
it must be a very swanky neigbourhood. the lion isn't chained to anything.
Peter: 16th Dec 2005 - 15:02 GMT
yup, the upper east side (esp in teh area in question) is extremely swanky... as in, old-money "rich old people" swanky. but even so, i betcha that lion is still cemented in...
Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 16th Dec 2005 - 18:33 GMT
It's probably rigged up to electrocute people who make under six figures.
Peter: 16th Dec 2005 - 18:45 GMT
yeah, cause the "poverty line" for that neighborhood def hovers around six figures...
elaine: 17th Dec 2005 - 18:46 GMT
so precious! do you see - the little gold detail on the fence too. it creates a golden triangle of smugness
elaine: 17th Dec 2005 - 18:50 GMT
oh! i just noticed your reference to 'you ain't goin nowhere' - the phrase chalk and cheese comes to mind, doesn't it?
