hercules and the Cretan bull

in the floor of the 'Labours of Hercules house' in Volubilis, near Meknes, Morocco. mosaic is about two feet across, special appearance by dead lion.

taken in the middle of a torrential rain that cleared the ruins of other tourists, and washed all the dust off the mosaics so i could get a decent picture. not long after taking this picture, i shared shelter in an upturned bin with one of the site's guardians, who walk around with whistles to warn people not to knock stuff over or walk on the walls.
