Here's a fountain in Trier that demands to be photographed.
Let's see. On the top is a grasshopper. OK. Then there's five men's likeness. I've read that they represent the original members of the Carnival Society of Trier.
Then look carefully at the bottom. That represents the sculptor, Willi Hahn. He made it so that his head is sticking out of one side and his feet come out on the other.
The Carnival Society donated this in 1977, but Hahn's likeness indicates they wanted to have some fun with it along the way.
It's not your usual fountain, and that's OK.
