Neptune fountain, a 3/4 scale replica of the bronze original in Bologna, Italy is located in the center of Malaga Cove Plaza. The fountain was first installed in the 1920's and replaced in 1969 with one additional alteration from the original - anyone care to guess what it is?

This is a great statue ... the alteration ... is it a seashell?
"Louis's" guess is that Neptune was made more (ahem) modest....
"Louis" thanks you for visiting San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.
Um, he's not spitting water too?
"No photos, please, talk to my agent!"
Thnaks for visiting my blog, btw.
I bet his genitalia was covered up. I remember being with my family on a "long drive" from Long Beach and seeing this fountain back in the late '50s. It's a lovely photo. To see other photos from the other side of the hill visit http://dailyphotofromranchopalosverdes.blogspot.
