The Lions of 22nd Street by rodriguezPhoto

Many homes in the Poverty Ridge area of Sacramento are well protected by lions.

He's a beauty! Milo has a lion look about his face. Skye on the other hand looks totally domestic.

I agree with Dennis a very striking statue.

The ironically named Poverty Ridge area has some of Sacramento's finest homes from the late 19th and early 20th century. While I can't say for sure, I believe that the original homeowners, often "self-made" men, might have thought of the lions as a way of symbolizing their power and prestige to all who pass by.

Very nice shot of a striking statue. What are the signifcance of the lions protecting homes, some distinct culture? Dennis
