No wonder - a beautiful pic...the grey river looks like its flowing uphill!  You could play Sibelius at full volume there and become one with the landscape (despite there being no trees, so Tapiola would be off the playlist!)

Kelly!

Thanks

Indeed-not a tree in sight! The old Icelandic joke: "What do you do if you are lost in a forest in Iceland?" Answer: "Stand up!"

Jon Leifs, the Icelandic composer, wrote a marvellous short symphonic poem describing the waterfall just upstream-

I believe that to be a MIG-15 from the late 40's (?) with Polish markings.  Very cool!

Thanks Colin.  Awesome.

My desktop today...

[Kullervo]

The Basilica at Saint-Sernin — I've been reading a bit about this remarkable place. It is the greatest standing example of Romanesque architecture (the cathedral at Cluny would have surpassed it, but it was blown to smithereens; all that's left are a few marble columns  ).

those icons just ruin it.

I was going to post the same kind of thing but thought it would be rude...so:  yes, those icons are too much, your desktop is a mess, I hope you can do something about it.

My background is usually a shot of our kids.....but for a few days, I will go with this Mummy artwork by James Bama (the guy that did all those 70's Doc Savage novel covers).  This art work was used on the Aurora Mummy model kit that I had as a youngster.

     My Mig-17 crashed when Bogey called it a 15. So now I'm going to stay on the ground.
