The art of waiting

It can get lonely sometimes, especially when no one seems to notice you.

It may look like peace and tranquility abounds but all around tourists are everywhere. It's just that none of them are on his wee stool getting their portrait drawn by him. He's been in this situation before as you can tell by his appropriate clothing for all weathers, the availability of reading matter and his ears full of music to drown out the noise of the tourists.

I wonder if he's listening to this?
