I got a note from Ron.

"Interesting photo, on your webpage, of the fountain in Bern Switzerland.  It's a man holding babies and he's about to eat one of them.

 

I took a couple of photos of that fountain when we were there a few years ago.

 

The fountain was meant to scare children to mind their parents or they would be eaten.

 

"Bern is "bear" in German.  The story goes that the first person to visit the area saw a bear and the city was named after that event.

 

Also, Albert Einstein and his wife lived in Bern when he was a student."
