Description
A small indulgence on my part tonight, the 16th December is the anniversary of Beethoven's birthday, which I have now celebrated for over 40 years as an antidote to Christmas :) so tonight I lit a candle and listened to all his symphonies culminating in his 9th :) many thanks for all your kind comments and critiques, they are genuinely appreciated :)
This was taken this evening after some German wine :)

Great lighting & mood. The base of that bust makes it look like a chess piece to me. Also, coincidentally, I happen to be reading a fantasy novel about a Beethoven scholar right now - it's called "City Of Dark Magic"...
