24th August, Klagenfurt. Do you remember the film 'The King and I' starring Yul Brynner? This time it's a dwarf instead of a King. Christine took this shot.
This dwarf holding a keg of beer and pointing to the sky is a fountain in central Klagenfurt. People say that if you caress (or pat) his head you would return to Klagenfurt for a second time. I don't believe this saying but his head is polished with people's caresses.
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday's picture.
Hi, Dione, lovely to see you!
I think Janet's (@janturnbull) right about the superstition - and it looks like a lot of people believe in it, judging by his shiny head and hands.
