On the Paseo del Prado, that wide avenue that runs in front of many of Madrid's most important museums and institutions, there's a tree-lined pedestrian walkway. As you stroll along it, you come to the Fuente de Apolo—the Apollo Fountain.

As far as I'm concerned, a city just can't have too many fountains, and this one makes a pleasant stop for pedestrians making their way from one museum to the next.

Fountains, of course, have water emanating from various nozzles. This becomes problematical when jets emerge from human figures. In the case of the famous Manneken Pis in Brussels, orifice location becomes a joke in bronze. So often, though, it's just awkward.

I mean, exactly what is the artist trying to say here?
