Age encrusted columns - reminds me that I was once a young kipper (English expression - and apologies to Kipper).

Critique welcome.

Interesting shot. What does kipper mean? I have only heard of done like a kipper (apologies to Kipper).

I thought the expression was "young nipper".

Wouldn't a young kipper be a small smoked herring?

That aside, nice shot Chris, the differential focus works well and the colours are rich.

I’ll have to ask my mum - she used to call me her young kipper - maybe there was something fishy about me

Isn't kipper a fish that old people eat?

That's what I thought too, Leigh. Hence, "done like a kipper"

Yes Leigh but young people eat them too - it is rather delicious when prepared correctly - normally only in Scotland.

The actual expression is ’done up like a kipper’ and refers to situations where you can not extricate yourself from a situation or when you have purchased your D70 for $5,000 (body only)

Maybe that’s what my mother mean’t, because I was always in trouble that was hard to get out of

Ah yes the Arbroath smokie - a very rare delicacy only found on the East coast just above Dundee.
Best to buy them direct from Abroath fishing harbour where there smoked direct from the boats and served all day.
I recomend them especially after a hard day on the fishing boat - yum!
All this talk of food is making me hungray and homesick
