Desktop Wallpaper for December 2013
This month's desktop wallpaper is a photograph made in the Lake District early one January morning this year. It's not up on my print galleries yet as they're undergoing a major overhaul, but you can download a copy for your computer's desktop completely free of charge. The links are here.
