I took advantage of the cold early morning to shoot this improved statue of the famous Göttingen physicist Weber (left) and mathematician Gauss (right) in high contrast. The thin layer of ice crystals augments the details. I love the whimsical humour of the bottle of beer in Gauss’ hand. It looks absolutely natural and intended and fits with the thoughtful discussion between the two. Even if someone were to remove the bottle (and it’s been there for a long time already), this cannot be unseen anymore. © 2017 Fred S. Wouters
