With the Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt) in the background, this is a detail of an ornamental three-level drinking fountain for animals in the main shopping street of Göttingen. Something you walk past without really noticing. The ‘ground level’ is a drinking bowl for dogs (decorated with dogs), the top is a bird bath (yes, with birds). Following the same logic, the middle level is meant for horses. This is a detail with the horse heads. The actual bowl is outside the frame. I like the anachronism and the stern look of the animals. Yesterday was the right moment for the picture. © Fred S. Wouters, 2016.
