Frederic Chopin: Overlooking The Symphony Stage
Walking around the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Singapore, I stumbled across this interesting statue of Mr & Mrs Chopin.
Chopin, for those that may not know, was a distinguished Polish composer in the 19th century, whose music continues to influence across genres to this day.
This particular statue is positioned so that it overlooks was the stage and grassy knoll that often holds musical concerts here in Singapore.
Seen here playing the piano with his wife in attendance, I appreciated the symbolism of inclusivity and togetherness that music creates.
Many passing visitors stopped just to take a quick photo but I made a conscious effort to pause and try to imagine both his thought process while creating and indeed what it would have sounded like to hear his music performed live during his lifetime.
In any case, the Botanical Gardens are well worth a visit. Let me know if you’ve ever been!

What a sweet couple of statues.
I have never been in Singapore... and I don't know if I ever will. The fact is, I have enough countries in Europe that I still want to see, and if I visit one per year, there's plenty of them to last until I when I wear a walking stick.
I know what you mean about having a long list of countries to visit, @trincowski.
Where in Europe is on your list?

Just from the top of my head, I'd like to see Hungary, Croatia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Serbia & Montenegro, Bulgaria, Ukraine, some more parts of Russia, Scotland, Ireland, Malta, Greece, Turkey... the list is endless.
Some excellent choices, @trincowski. I certainly haven’t visited all of the countries you mention but of the ones I have (Hungary, Sweden, Bulgaria, Scotland, Ireland, Greece, Turkey), I can almost guarantee you’ll enjoy them. The people in Ireland are some of the friendliest anywhere, while I find Budapest in Hungary absolutely stunning!
Keep us updated with how you get on.
