Bergen, Norway: Ole Bull Fountain

Ole Bull was one of the big music stars of his era in the 1800s. The violinist is buried in downtown Bergen, so it's no wonder that he receives a tribute nearly.

This is it - a fountain in his honor and memory. He's the guy on top of the rocks playing the violin. Below him is a skald playing a mythical harp. A skald is a Norwegian poet who sang songs for kings for a few hundred years starting in Viking times. 

This is a relatively rare photo of the area without kids playing on the rocks. Or so I'm told.
