 Additional info   It was a bit difficult to find a spot without reflections between the Plexiglas walls 
 surrounding the lions den and its foss. And I had left the polarizer at the hotel! 
 Fortunately the place was almost deserted, everyone was at the cafeteria, running 
 away from a nasty cold and occasional drizzle, so I took my time waiting for him.
