Sibelius in the snow
I don't know about anywhere else, but our snow has gone. We did have a flurry the other night but I can thankfully say it came to nothing. I have had my fill of snow this year. That said, I was delighted to receive this card showing the Sibelius Monument in snow. A beautiful monument made even more beautiful by nature. The picture is taken from precisely the same spot as the card I have of the monument without snow.

It's so odd looking. What is it made out of?
ReplyDeleteIt looks better in the snow. When we went there I decided to stay in the coach rather than walk up with the crowds.
ReplyDelete@Ancient Digger, I had to look it up, but apparently it's made of hollow steel tubes. I think it looks like organ pipes but apparently it's an attempt to "capture" Sibelius' music.
ReplyDelete@Gerald, you weren't impressed then? The sender did say the place was always full of tourists.
The explanation that it represents music explains everything. I was confused seeing it. It does look nice, though.
