Lion of Bavaria, Lindau, May 2009-Germany
Lindau's famous harbour, which is still regarded today as the most attractive anywhere on Lake Constance, was completed in 1856. The 6m high monument with the lion looking over the lake is a work by the sculptor Johann von Halbing. The Bavarian heraldic emblem flanks the harbour entrance together with the 33m high lighthouse. Thousands of lights create a magical harbour atmosphere.
