Last month I went to Addo Elephant Park and I saw the greatest sign in the whole entire world. #southafrica #mzansi #originalphotography #wildlifephotography

An old, weathered outdoor sign reading BEWARE OF LIONS. ALIGHT FROM VEHICLE AT OWN RISK. Between the sentences there is supposed to be a picture of a lion; it has been erased by the elements. An unknown artist has redrawn the lion. The drawing is perfect in every way.
