Beethoven in the rain, Tower Grove Park. There is a large, ornate gazebo just to the left of the frame. It is surrounded by eight marble columns, topped with busts of 18th and 19th Century composers. I'm sure they reflect the taste of the rich people of the times who erected this.
Images of Ludwig almost always glower. Maybe the depictions are wrong, Or maybe he was in need of Zoloft long before its time. But the composer of the Ode to Joy could not have looked like this when he wrote it.

Very nice capture Bob. Love the rain.
Ludwig looks so grim. When you look at his life, it's understandable, and it does come into his music from time to time, but there's also moments of sheer joy in that music.
They reflect my taste, too. Let's think of this expression as concentration.
Well done, Bob. The use of black and white fits this image so well. Thanks!
Works well in black and white.
