This a shot of the square in the Jerez de la Frontera centre. When I saw that guy sitting there head down, my first impression was that he had already drunk too much sherry. But at a closer look I saw that he was looking down at his mobile.
Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's. Very much appreciated.
The city centre fontain with the horse and rider statue are a nice sight to see.
I copied the following from google. I at one time knew all the different horse positions..here is the meaning of one with one leg up in the air
Equestrian statue of Confederate General James Longstreet on his horse Hero in Pitzer Woods at Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg, PA
In the United States and the United Kingdom, an urban legend states that if the horse is rearing (both front legs in the air), the rider died in
battle; one front leg up means the rider was wounded in battle or died
of battle wounds; and if all four hooves are on the ground, the rider
died outside battle. For example, Richard the Lionheart is memorialised, mounted passant, outside the Palace of Westminster by Carlo Marochetti; the former died 11 days after his wound, sustained in siege, turned septic.
In the United States, the rule is especially held to apply to equestrian statues commemorating the American Civil War and the Battle of Gettysburg,[9] but there are at least nine instances where the rule does not hold for Gettysburg equestrian statues. One such statue was erected in 1998 in Gettysburg National Military Park, and is of James Longstreet, who is featured on his horse with one foot raised, even though Longstreet was not wounded in that battle. However, he was seriously wounded in the Wilderness battle the following year. This is not a traditional statue, as it does not place him on a pedestal. One writer claims that any correlation between the positioning of hooves in a statue and the manner in which a Gettysburg soldier died is a coincidence.[10] There is no proper evidence that these hoof positions are right, but people believe it to be. It is true in some instances but false too in others.[11][12][13]
