Thanks for your kind words all. It was meant to be subtle, so I figure I owe you an explanation. This is the shot I'm really proud of files.me.com/elliott_roper/jte26u Then I thought "SI wallpaper" and landscaped the camera for the sandpaper thing. This is a very ordinary snapshot from the same position which gives the game away files.me.com/elliott_roper/tfsk4x ....and here is where I took it from files.me.com/elliott_roper/6tji8e As you can see it was all dumb luck and spotting the clouds reflected on the wet sandbank and those two women to give it scale. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248

Tony, I'd recommend to try some other ones on your desktop, you might be surprised. I loaded up many possibilities as actual wallpaper during the mandate period and ended up with what I thought would be awful but it works nicely - for me - for a while anyways... tastes, styles, needs & moods will vary.
