I like the piper shot. Using f4 gives a nice focus on the subject and blurs the foreground and background.

Must be the Pied Piper of Melbourne - wee children are flocking to him!

By the way - nice sporran.

I like the piper shot, very cleverly framed against the background, and good use of depth of field.

Bagpipes are everywhere! I went to the daily flag-raising ceremony in Hong Kong on New Year's Day -- on the 1st of the month it's a half-hour show instead of just 10 minutes, at Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai. After the PRC and bauhinia flags were raised, the brass band handed over to a pipe band. About a dozen locals dressed in tartan (Clan McWong?) and with bagpipes marched in and played for 10 minutes. It was stirring stuff indeed, you'd need a heart of stone not to be affected by the whole ceremony.

Amongst the enemy are ya! Just yesterday I decided to re-watch Braveheart.

Hmmm - The Canadian Air Force actually has an official tartan registered.

Now, can someone tell me what those socks were. Even as a member of the Essex and Kent Scottish Regiment I've never seen anything like them.

Ahh, they are the lesser known 'diagonal lattice topped sock'. A rare sock indeed, only worn when the wind is blowing north east
