Sibelius

Helsinki, Finland

This is the monument to the Finnish composer Sibelius, the design of which was inspired by organ pipes.
The monument is on the tourist bus route, and every few minutes another appeared disgorging hordes of people.
Like vacationing locusts, they swarmed all over my composition. It took several attempts to do this without being shoved aside.
