Around 18 1/2 inches of muscle!

I'll try to get some better pictures tomorrow, but I'm rarely home in the daylight these days, so they might all be night and indoor shots. (I can provide some exterior daylight photos of other events, if you like)
The required bare calf shot:
Showing the circumference:
It's a little breezy tonight. Stretching my poor argyle-topped hose.
All photographs by me, using a tripod and remote.

Hi Matt,
So I have two pictures for your contest here:
The first one is the artsy shot of the kilt in action. Well it's more inaction because I am sitting down. But I like the shot because it makes an interesting portrayal of the tartan. I made that kilt myself by the way.

The second photo for you shows my calves. They measure about 16.5 inches, equal to my neck measurement. May not be the biggest, and the second shot is definitely not in my kilt. However, being from North of the Border I have plenty of excellent trails to recreate that angle of view.

I realized that I didn't include a photo of my upper body at all, though I'm not sure if you need it. Here I am (on the right) officiating a friend's Hallowe'en themed wedding in 2011. Not kilted yet.

Bah. I don't have any good pictures that showcase the 22" monster calves.
This one shows them in proportion to the rest of me, though they're in shadow:
And perhaps extra points for a cute baby.

Tell you what, I'll let this run through the end of the week and select the winner over the weekend. How does that sound?
