Exhibition | The Scottish Pearl

I decided to go for a wee walk yesterday evening and ended up at the Meadows in Edinburgh.

As I entered the park the sun was setting and the sky was suddenly golden.

What a beautiful backdrop. Needless to say, I stopped walking and started clicking. I perhaps went overboard taking photos.

Mother Nature is truly remarkable. It was lovely to see people enjoying the park and admiring the glow of the sky.

Born Free Forever Exhibition

While I was there I took the opportunity to revisit the Born-Free Forever Exhibition. I discovered the exhibition with a friend just a few days ago. I was surprised by its installation.

As I returned to the Meadows, I decided to take another look.

I have since learned that the exhibition is to increase awareness to protect lions. Below is a brief description from the Foundation’s site.

In honour of what would have been the 100th Birthday year of Bill Travers MBE, we are celebrating our fearless Co-Founder’s legacy by designating 2022 our ‘Year of the Lion’. Our year of action includes a UK-wide exhibition – Born Free Forever – with 25 stunning life-size, bronze lion sculptures touring the country to raise awareness and vital funds for lions through the Forever Lions Fund, set up in Bill’s memory.

The statues are amazing. They looked even more life-like under the setting sun.
