Ok, so it is actually Texas skies. But I love the look of the clouds above the lions, especially because I live in the desert where the sky is often cloudless. This large hill blocks the cafe on the other side (which also has a viewing window). Unfortunately, the lions like to stay on the cafe side of the hill and a sign on the cafe door says seating is only for customers, meaning most visitors will not get to see the lions unless they buy something to eat.
