Joseph Haydn
spent his early childhood
to this river
along it.
and the Earth was without form and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep
and God said: Let there be light. And there was light" *
met his creator 204 years ago today

I absolutely believe that the landscape shapes our characters. Although, often, we are completely oblivious.
