Behold! The mighty power of 500px A.I. captioning! "Wild Animal Roaring Expressing Raw Power and Untamed Nature" Actually, it's yawning. Perhaps it's a raw, untamed, powerful yawn? 🥱

Getting obsessed by this ever-so-fancy Roman iron parade helmet which looks amazing at National Museum of Scotland's new 'Scotland's First Warriors' exhibition (free / on display until May 2027).
