Piper’s Smile by Ryszard Wierzbicki

This Photograph was taken at Ulun Danu Temple, Lake Beratan in Bal, Indonesia. There was an elderly man with his stand of handicraft goods for sale and whistling on his pipe. His intriguing, wrinkled face and the smile have focused my attention, so I made few portraits of him.
