Love Story in Stone

This mountain lion sculpture by the Guardian of Place is down the canyon wall from the Love Story bas relief. In human terms, it can’t be seen as a single flow of energy as humans have built a walking platform over him.

Here is the rock bas relief, to the right. The mural was crafted by the Guardian of Place – the higher part is reddish in color and the lower part, and lion, are green with lichen.

These carvings are visible at the Garden of the Gods, Shawnee National Forest, IL. You can read more at Love Story.
