  Golden Fountain

The famous statue of Sampson on the grounds of Peterhof in St. Petersburg. When it was first revealed in 1735 the statue was covered in real gold leaf. It is an allegory of Russia's vistory over Sweden. The stream from the lion's mouth sprays water 21 meters high.

The primary challenge in any shot like this is to keep the many tourists out of the background.

I know. I'm a tourist, too.
