Three Headed Dragon Fountain

 We walked a different way to the Mission Home and found another city park ... this one has this awesome three headed dragon fountain in the middle of it...summer if over so all the water was drained out - but we want to see it next year with the fountain working.
 Close up of the fountain - treasure chests with gold coins - etc.  When we got home I googled the Russian Three Headed Dragon and found it's name - Zmey Gorynch in Russia, other names in Poland and Ukraine... Slavic myths - heads grow back if one head it still there - mostly evil, not very smart, some interesting folk tales.
We think these fish all around the fountain have water coming out of their mouths .. will have to wait until next summer to see for sure.  Myths about the Three Headed Dragon are all over Eastern Europe.
