The Winged Lion

The Winged Lion in Prague is a memorial statue in Klárov Park.
It honors Czechoslovak airmen who served with the British Royal Air Force (RAF) in WWII.
It was a gift from the British community, unveiled in 2014.
At a later date it was updated with individual names, symbolizing their fight for freedom and remembrance for their sacrifices and post-war persecution.
A beautiful statue and very moving to see.

Very nicely captured. I like how you positioned so as not to compete with the building.
