Plates of meat

I am an Englishman living in Scotland and if you believed Mary Poppins all of us speak with a cor blimey cockney accent where, of course, we all refer to feet as plates of meat.

I was running one of my photo lessons today in Edinburgh where one of my tips is always to look for the hidden details that most people don't see. Being conscious that the Weekend Blip Challenge has a theme of plate, I was also looking for the opportunity to find an image that could be submitted.

When I saw these spats I dashed over to the piper in Princes Street gardens and asked him in a non-pervy manner. This also helped to instill a part of the lesson that I don't write down. If you see a photo and it involves a person, go up and talk to them, ask them for permission. So there I was on my knees photographing the knees of a piper just for you guys to judge me on Monday morning.

This is my weekend blip challenge entry for the theme 'plates'.
