25 Jun... The Piper

OK, I'm not an afficionado of Scottish Bagpipes, but this guy was good. The contents of his bag clearly showed that others thought so too. Not everybody appreciated the finer points of his playing however - a street performer a few yards away finished his act then laid into this guy for raining on his parade. Totally blew away the "happy charming" persona he'd put on for his audience. Scots guy moved on - he knew it wasn't worth a fight.

And watching the show...

Cool shot. Great light and nicely captured.

Busking must be a cut throat business! LOL! Super capture and treatment, Rose

Love a man in a kilt! Looks like he walked straight off the box for Scott's Porage Oats!

Great shot. You captured him keeping time to his music too. I'm glad to see he was well rewarded, and also had the wisdom to realise that discretion is the better part of valour!

Heres mine..perhaps they are a wee bit short of pennies north of the border?
