Bagpipes in Oxford, England
I took this in 2007 of a man playing the bagpipes on Cornmarket Street in Oxford, England. I had just given my last pound to a cellist down the road, and so I stopped videoing this guy when I noticed he had a sign that said, I think it's rude when people take pictures without giving money. Whoops!
