Grone Jong
Hofgarten, Innenstadt, Dusseldorf, GermanySitting in the middle of the Hofgarten is a fountain featuring Triton, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, carrying a trident and shell-trumpet and spurting water high into the air. The fountain is known as the 'Grone Jong' or 'Green Lad', because of the colour which it has assumed over the years. Unfortunately, like so many other fountains in the city, it is often dry. The reason for this is not lack of water but because the ground water is polluted with a high concentration of chlorinated hydrocarbons.
