Description
This wonderful figure is part of the bronze "Fountain of Youth," situated right in the middle of the main shopping street (Kaiserstrasse) of Karlsruhe, Germany. It was created by Karl-Henning Seemann between 1983 and 1985 and installed the following year, and it consists of a tower of older people diving into the fountain and rising out young again.
There is also a frisky little lamb bounding out of the water. Very appropriate, since the intersecting street is Lammstrasse (Lamb Street). In fact, the fountain is sometimes called the "Fountain of the Lamb," as well as "Rejuvenation." Whatever name it goes by, however, this photo always makes me smile when I look at it. Maybe I should have dipped my sore, arthritic feet in it while I was there to see what happened!
