New York: Central Park
Inspiration: Yes indeed. There is at least one more person willing to haul into the park and play, no matter whether anyone is listening, a large piano. I remember how surprised I was when I saw the other outdoor playing Piano Man for the first time. These days, seeing sights like this seems quite normal. But what is "normal" anyway? Especially in New York!

I've seen several pianos propped up by the city for everyone to play around here. It's just so pretty. The first one I've ever seen was just casually hanging out in front of a bakery waiting for someone to come along and play :-) And people indeed go and do that.

What a cool sighting! In my nearly 15 years in NYC (which was a few years ago), I don't recall ever coming across a street piano player. I guess I'll scour Central Park when I visit in 2 weeks :-)

Was in NYC on Monday, 6/20, and saw musicians in Bryant Park but no pianos. Next time I will be headed to Central Park! Love this!

Oh this is awesome! I went to Geneva last weekend and they had pianos scattered around the city that people would come up to and play. The weather was miserable, absolutely pouring down, but there wasn't a piano I walked down that someone wasn't sitting down at and playing. It is such a beautiful and mesmerizing thing to see.
Love this shot. xx

I really have to thank you for all these photos, I'm so homesick and getting a glimpse of my beloved city (aside from the governor scandal) makes me happy.
