Why?

This is on the top of many of our water fountains. Apparently, it's a dolphin - copied from some renaissance sculpture. I wonder... had the sculptor EVER seen a dolphin? Or any sea creature, for that matter? Why did someone decide to use THIS on top of the fountains?

LOL Love your title. Great shot and an interesting looking sculpture.

Looks like a weird fish to me...nicely captured

It certainly is a conversation starter!

@mittens @linnypinny @amberjosephine85 Thanks for your comments - the shot doesn't do justice to the fish's lips. They are the stuff of nightmares!
