Der Brunnen auf dem Marktplatz, zur Zeit eingebettet in das Weindorf.
This is the fountain at the Marktplatz in the city centre. It is embeded into the Wine Village in the moment.

Gut zu erkennen ist eine Stute mit ihrem saugenden Fohlen.
There are a mare with her sucking foal displayed on the column.

Was it originally a drinking fountain for horses with a trough?

It's a very intimidating fountain. Striking but vicious at the same time,

Am really enjoying the photos of Wine Festival. It reminds me of so many years ago when I was at a similar festival in Rhine-Hessen and first tasted Gurwürtztraminer, which to this day is still my favourite.

Incredibly beautiful...we need one of these in downtown Ocala - after all, Ocala is the "horse capitol of the world"! :-)

What a beautiful fountain. The gold against the dark stone is great.

How interesting this fountain is! And, I am seeing flames dancing amidst the water. are they gas torches or something else? That's remarkable. I've never seen a fountain with a fire feature like this.
Super shots!
