Dangerous Sheep

There's a restaurant on my street which specialises in lamb soup. It's an old-school place – the shop-sign is in Mandarin only, and the staff speak little or no English. Outside, they have these three sheep, like lawn ornaments.

I pass the sheep almost every day, and they never fail to amuse. I honestly didn't think the tableau could be improved upon. But there's some renovation work going on, and the other day, on the bus back, I saw this sign and safety mesh.

Quick grab-shot on my phone from the upper storey of a double-decker bus, but at least we have a record. When I went back with my camera, the sign and netting had been removed. "Shoot it now," says Jay Maisel. "When you come back, it will always be different."
