Mascot of the Month: Ljubljana Dragon

This is the Dragon of Ljubljana. This image is from the Dragon Bridge. The dragon was said to swell in the labriynth below the Castle.
It is now kind of the mascot of the city. Even the city seal has the dragon on top of the Castle Tower. It is a pretty hip mascot.
Here he adorns the birdge, with his tail waiting to strike passers by.
.
Legend is that he will move his tail as a virgin crosses the bridge (it was curisouly still as we crossed).

Small images dot the city - including this one on a boat.

I think if you have a mascot - a dragon is a good one.
