    Douglas Modern USA Kilts Casual

    Finally got some pics.



    Taken at Antelope Pass, looking south, that's the Echo Cliffs in the left foreground.



    Looking west from Antelope Pass, the Kaibab Plateau in the distant left, the Vermillion Cliffs in the distant right, the gash center right is the top of Marble Canyon of the Colorado River which becomes the Grand Canyon a few miles downstream.



    A closer shot of the pleats taken at Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson after a 7 hour drive wearing the kilt.

    Thumbs up

    Looks very good to me, the scenery is a bit distracting though.
    Armageddon was yesterday. Today we have real problem.

    Looks good, stop flashing the ground squirrels. Insert joke about nuts here. O'Neille
    Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

    With Hamish it's all about displaying the kilt. With Ron it's about displaying the scenery with a kilt in the foreground.

    That's because Ham is so much more handsome than I.

    If I had scenery within a hundred miles, I'd use it too! Also, down here in the South of England, it is virtually impossible to get away from 'people', they are everywhere you look - we are a very much overcrowded little island! Unfortunately, my photographer (Tripod Self-Timer) just refuses to work where there are 'people' - he IS very shy and is scared of being knocked over!

    Don't you believe it, Ron! I never heard such nonsense! Besides: remember, I am considerably older than you!!

    All that being said, that's another gorgeous kilt you have there. Well chosen and well made.
