New York: Central Park
Inspiration: As I was making my way out of Central Park a couple of days ago, I heard a beautiful violin-like sound coming from the sun-dappled area where I usually hear a guy playing the sax. Indeed, this gentleman was playing an erhu, an ancient Chinese two-string instrument, while the sun was beginning its descent for the evening.

Endingidi...try saying that...haha.
That's the name we call this instrument in my mother tongue. It produces the most enchanting of music. Things get a little bit crazy when it's twinned with drums.
Thanks for posting this. That reminds me, I have to call my mother...bye. Have a great day.

This is stunning. The man looks so zen. I love the street musicians that play these- there is one in the Lorimer Street Station off the L almost every weekday morning. I used to have to go through there to get the school, and it always calmed me down when I was waiting for the train.

So love the light in this picture. I have never heard the sound an erhu. It must have been very nice.
