Boy Band
Posted By: Kerrowdown, 07-15-2015, 01:55 PM

Just "chillin" on the streets.

In truth I don't who they were, probably just a friends waiting on something, but to me they looked liked they had been through the hands of a stylist.

Nice street scene, Kerrowdown. Maybe they've been to some event with those lanyards around their necks. And, yeah, it does look like a boy band.

Scotland's Got Talent? Maybe they were in tryouts. Cool street scene! I keep looking at the details.

Aye, there's slightly too many folk in the background for my liking, but that's street photography for you, you take it when you can, or spend hours in PP.

@ CreationBear

Aye just down the road from me, gave David Moire his inspiration for this painting "An incident in the rebellion of 1745" known commonly as "The Battle of Culloden".

Moire enjoyed the patronage of "Butcher" Cumberland, so he's nae pal of ours.

In my day... hipsters were a cut/style of trousers.

Interesting pic.

Looks like kids I would not like much. Not much individuality. Interchangeable, groupie and they take themselves too seriously.
Not a criticism of the photography just my honest reading of the content of the photo.

But then that's what us old men do - sit around and bitch about the young.

I'm right up for some of that... in the Mediterranean that go one step further where wine or beers are involved too.

Yes, I like to think of the Scots as a wee bit burlier than the lads in the picture. Not, of course, that y'all have totally run out of martial prowess--I think it's a Glaswegian that currently owns the record for the longest sniper kill. (Of course, if he's from Glasgow, that means he's probably Irish, right?)



FWIW, I've got a professional interest in the Battle of Culloden--if there was a lens that you didn't have, I'd trade you one of mine for a battlefield tour the next time I'm across the Pond.

When were you last there, the National Trust for Scotland has opened in 2008 a fantastic purpose built visitor centre.
