I came across this photo of a LEGO sculpture on Facebook. It is a reproduction of one of the four lions that flank the entrances to Lanchíd (Chain Bridge) in Budapest. I had captured one of the lions in a photo on my trip to Budapest in April.

This LEGO sculpture was well done. It looks like it is a 1:1 scale with the real thing. I loved playing with LEGO as a kid and still enjoy them. It was fun to see that someone had built a model of these iconic lions.
