This lovely piano piece is written by Julius Ugo, age 10. Julius lives in Toronto, Canada. This is what he says about the piece, “My video is about waking up on a freezing, sunny day and looking out the window at my neighbourhood. I snapped some pictures of nature and a lot of ugly buildings some how snuck in to the shots. I liked the effect and I hope you like it too.”
