Get your mind out of the gutter...

Perception...what an interesting thing. What do you see when you look at this picture? When I first walked past this bronze fountain, my mind was running a million miles a minute - I giggled, and had to stop and take a picture. From one angle (which obviously is not pictured here) you see a brother helping his younger sister drink from a water fountain that she cannot reach. Yet, pictured here is the angle in which I first came across this innocent fountain. Do you think the sculptor knew what people might perceive from the various angles of this piece? Is it possible that innocence is in the eye of the beholder?
