This Is Very Hard To Believe

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

The Grand Hotel in Milan

is very exclusive

 

I combed through

hundreds of its images

and not one

features

the roaring lion

in the courtyard

 

But I think I know why:

 

I photographed it 

in 2008

and immediately

received a text

from the hotel

asking if

I'd let them post it

but 

I said NO

because they would not

pay me for doing so

 

You lucky readers

get to see it for free

!!!
