This is a very interesting fountain I don't know much about. What I do know is that it looks like something wrong. It's not the first sculpture or fountain that I've seen that I see something different than what I'm supposed to.

Quite a disturbing view there, wasn't able to figure out what that dude was doing to that poor turtle.. in itself a nice fountain, if only they left the poor turtle alone.

This has a be five stars. I'm not sure what the motive was to display such a bizarre conversation piece in one of the largest cities in New England. But it certainly provokes question and conversation.

Why is a sea turtle used a symbol in a city far away from any major seaport?

Who is this unclothed boy and what does he symbolize?

What ungodly act is being performed on this geographically displaced turtle?

The questions and the...
