Amazing Grace


I took a break the other day from working in the apartment and decided to get some fresh air in the nearby park on the Tamagawa river. As I strolled along in the hot afternoon, I thought I was hearing things, when I first heard the faint strains of what sounded like bagpipes. Bagpipes? In Tokyo? In Futako Tamagawa? Nah. Couldn't be, I thought. I kept walking toward the sound and sure enough, there, on the far side of the river bank, a good 200m or so away, stood a solitary figure playing Amazing Grace, on the bagpipes. Amazing. The photo is poor as my zoom couldn't reach that far, but still, if you click on the image, you can see the person holding the bagpipes, lost in thought no doubt, dreaming of the bonny banks of Loch Lomand.
