      More technical problems, it seems the software doesn't like me to post too many snapshots. I'll sign off then sign on again to continue ...

        Another shot of the exterior of B's lodgings in Heiligenstadt where he wrote the "Testament".

          Hmm... still not working. I'll reboot and try again. Sorry about this.

                And now to the Central Cemetery where LvB now lies (in the company of a bunch of other famous musicians).

                      OK folks, I'll stop there. You can find much better photos of all these places I've visited on the web.

                        [Sotto voce]: Hey Hollywood, don't forget to send me that little parcel of LvB exhibits we "picked up" whilst in Heiligenstadt. If the police or customs nab me when I go to collect them, I'll say my name is Peter from the BRS.

                          It might be that there are better photos, but when these places are seen through the eyes of a friend they have greater personal impact. Thank you for sharing!

                          Although I've seen pictures of the death mask before, this particular time your photo evoked a reaction I've not had before. Your venture had to be quite moving!

                            Interestingly, I had a different reaction than I have had before. Something more life-like about it, maybe? I really don't know.
