Good morning from a cool Hastings morning. Autumn has hit us hard after the storm.
This week Cee at Cee’s Photography has asked for musical instruments, people, sheet music or audio devices for her black and white challenge this week. This was a hard one for me but then I remembered this photo from last year. I always get goosebumps when I hear a lone piper. This piper was shot during the ceremony to commemorate the 1931 earthquake. He walked up the length of Heretaunga Street piping and people just stopped what they were doing to listen. So it was an eerie silence with just the sounds of the pipes.
Please excuse the graininess. It was taken with my iPhone 5S and then heavily cropped.

Hope everything is okay after the storm. I like the way the woman is looking at the bagpipe player. They look out of time with each other.
