lion cab

One of our Flat Walks (Alice's Achilles Tendon is still not meant to be exercised on hills) is in Griffith Park, down by the Zoo and the Autry Museum - providing one doesn't make a left-hand turn and walk towards the 5, it's a really pleasant walking track, by the side of a golf course that's been planted to look very much like rolling English parkland, albeit with eucalyptus trees and Douglas firs.  We were a little taken aback to see a couple of self-driving golf caddies: apparently they roll along in front of you, stop when you stop, obey your every whim - which must ensure that one gets in a walk (no golf carts) while not having to pull a heavy load of clubs along.  I must look and see whether there are any of these roaming Wimbledon Common.

And there's also a fenced-in lot where there are a number of stray park-things, like old tables, and this lion chariot.  Is it from the merry-go-round?  Has it escaped from a children's area at the Zoo?  It's very fetching, whatever its origins: adult lion is holding a little lion cub on its shoulder (the position is, of course, very familiar, given Gramsci's desire at times to be carried around).
