Lion Hunting in Jerusalem

Jerusalem used to have many lions, but they were all hunted down. The city's symbol is the lion rampant. Now in Jerusalem we have a new breed of casts. These lions are part of a city art project. As in all artistic endeavors some of it is creative and fun, and some is just excess. Join me as I go lion hunting in Jerusalem. See them all. Pick your favorite.
