Hi everyone,i don’t usually stray onto this board,but i just had to tell you all about the strangest image i have seen today! Today’s edition of the U.K. newspaper ‘The Guardian’ had a feature on e-commerce in Asia which was illustrated by a colour photo of a stonemason working on a statue of the Hindu god Ganesh.I had to do a bit of a double take,as the elephant headed god appeared to be playing UILLEANN PIPES! Indeed,the statue was so large,that the mason was squatting with one foot on the bellows! The chanter was resting on elephant head’s leg,and he was using correct pipers’ grip! Even the regulators were there! I just wish that i had a scanner,so that i could prove to you all that i’m not making this up! Did anyone else see this strange vision? !!

The pic did appear in the 'worldwide wealth article,in the ‘On-line’ supplement.Pleased to hear that someone else spotted this image.Wonder what tune he was playing?!
I know a couple of pipers that fit the description! The great piping of Sean O’Kali…
