Please full view, it looks much better that way!

Statue of Johann Strauss II

For those of you who don't know who he was, Johann Strauss II was an Austrian composer known especially for his waltzes, such as "An der schönen blauen Donau" ("The Blue Danube"). Check it out if you don't know it (I'm pretty sure you will have heard it at some point, but you might not know the name)...it's a beautiful (to say the least) piece.

He was known in his lifetime as "der Waltzkönig" ("the Waltz-King") and was largely responsible for the popularity of the waltz in Vienna during the 19th century. He revolutionised the waltz, elevating it from a lowly peasant dance to entertainment fit for the royal Habsburg court.

Taken at the Wiener Stadtpark, Vienna, Austria.

PS: I know I've edited it in a strange way...I dunno...I was just messing with Photoshop and this was the result!
