As Swift as an Arrow
The Lunabrunnen (fountain of Luna) is a landmark in the town of Lüneburg. It’s a bronze statue of the goddess Luna on top of a fountain.

Yet there is a connection between the two and even in mythology the boundaries between both are not clear cut. This little statue (just over 60 cm tall) almost made it in my Naturally Monochrome gallery for Monochrome Madness today – since she didn’t, I swiftly entered her here.
