Michael Brown takes a pride in his work at the lion park
Michael Brown takes a pride in his work at the lion park. Its just a holiday job - but its different. Michael, 16, of Chester-le-Street, County Durham, finds that even painting road markings in the park at nearby Lambton, carries a dash of adventure. But hes safe in the knowledge that two wardens armed with rifles are standing by to keep the lions in line. Don t look now, but theres a lion coming on to the line... Michael just gets on with his painting. August 1974

EDITORS COMMENTS
Michael Brown fearlessly embraces his role at the lion park, taking great pride in his work. At just 16 years old, hailing from Chester-le-Street, County Durham, he finds himself immersed in a holiday job like no other. Even the seemingly mundane task of painting road markings within Lambton's nearby park carries an exhilarating dash of adventure for Michael. Undeterred by the presence of majestic lions roaming nearby, Michael remains focused on his task. With two wardens armed with rifles standing guard to maintain order and safety, he feels reassured as he diligently applies paint to the ground. Little does he know that a curious lion has decided to join him on the line! Unfazed by this unexpected visitor, Michael simply continues with his painting without missing a beat. His bravery shines through as he effortlessly carries out his duties amidst these magnificent creatures. This photograph captures not only Michael's courage but also showcases the unique bond between humans and animals. It serves as a reminder that even in unconventional circumstances such as this one, individuals can find fulfillment and joy in their work. Taken in August 1974 during an era characterized by its humor and charm, this image transports us back to a time when people embraced life's adventures with enthusiasm and lightheartedness.
