I should really get to town and take a few photos of our 11 fountains, but getting older means getting lazier probably. Why 11 fountains. In our local town 11 is our magic number. Steps on the cathedral are divisable by 11, there are 11 statues and 11 clocks etc etc. This old example of a fountain is to be found in the golden oldie home of Mr. Swiss. It was probably originally a fountain for any wild life that happened to be thirsty. Now it is on the edge of the parking space, probably almost as old as the home which was built some time in the 17th century.

The water probably comes from our nearby river Aare.
