From the atrium interior of an otherwise uninteresting government building in Monrovia.
About Scarlett Lion

Photographer, writer, reporter. Going through life with an eye towards creating records and histories.
On the roof a a friend’s house in Nakasero, Kampala back in 2006, I went through a crate of discarded items he and a few other artists had gathered. On that day, I was looking for something, and I found the lion. Something about the hollowed out, paint chipped toy appealed to my understanding of this amazing continent: I’d never seen a real lion, after all.
Previously based in Uganda, currently in Liberia. Always roaming. This blog provides curiosities, commentary, and photos.

Which government building is this…is it part of the executive building?

It’s part of the building that has the land deeds archive. I believe there are other offices as well, but that’s the only one I know about since that’s what I was there visiting.
