This fountain was built by Georg Raphael Donner (Thunder) from 1737-1739.
Taken at the hottest day of 2007 in Vienna, which was my birthday!
Thanks to all who view and comment ;o)

Hey, a really well composed picture. The sculpture is perfectly exposed. When I have something to annotate I'd use a smaller aperture number to unsharpen the background. But as always, it's a matter of personal flavor.
Feine Sache!

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

Those "bruns" are not easy to photograph, alway people in the way, or you have to stand back a lot and then get a lot of cars in the way and such.. but this one worked out very well !! Oke, how hot was it then ?

What a very imposing fellow he is, and beautifully photographed. Do folks in Vienna jump into fountains and wade the way they do here on hot days?
