Jonah And The Whale

Fountain at Cranbrook By Carl Milles

This fountain depicts the story of Jonah and the whale with unexpected and delightful images. At the center of the bowl the whale holds a
Buddha-esque Jonah aloft as dozens of small fish spray water over the pair. Milles said about the fountain that his intention was
to "make a joke for the children."

Another fine piece of work by Milles which shows his fascination with "playful fantasy". Nice shot, Jay ~V~

There are so many stories about Buddha and the Whale also
folklore (some which implore the rebirth of the whale as a Buddha)
Well done, Jay!
