Belgium - Brussels - Mannekin Pis dressed in red costume

A young girl holds railings at the site of Brussels' famous landmark, the Mannekin Pis statuette, dressed in red. A red theme appears from the statuette?s costume, the girl?s coat and the No Entry sign. Manneken Pis (literally little man pee in Marols, a dialect spoken in Brussels, also known in French as le Petit Julien), is a famous Brussels landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin whose wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes. It was designed by Jerome Duquesnoy and put in place in 1618 or 1619. It bears a similar cultural significance as Copenhagen's Little Mermaid. The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to the published schedule that is posted on the railings around the fountain. (Photo by In Pictures Ltd./Corbis via Getty Images)
