Photographer’s Note

Romanshorn is a city of about 10000 inhabitants located at the border of the Lake of Constance. There is a legend about the name of the city: Roman was a fisherman, who when he was fishing, felt so alone that he was not hungry. So, he threw his apple to the lake and a being appeared of waters, yellow color and with a horn on the head. Immediately they began to chat and then they saw that the city was in fire. Roman asked how they could warn the inhabitants of the city from danger. The being suggested him to take the horn on his head and blow to alert people. Thus he did it and the town was saved. From comes the name. The horn of Roman. Roman's horn. In 2003, Romanshorn erected a sculpture in memory of Mocmoc, the being who had saved them. Here you can see Mocmoc. This sculpture is well-known by another name in Romanshorn. Yes. You guessed right: "the Pokemon".
