Desktop Wallpaper for July 2013
Wow. We're over half way through the year already and summer is here, I think, though you wouldn't think it looking out my office window today. So as another month is about to draw to a close, it means it's time for another desktop wallpaper. This image was made around 4 years ago one lovely winter's evening. Do you recognise it? Read on.... Alternatively download for your computer's desktop here.
I'm running a little competition running revolving around this photograph, but to be eligible and party to the competition details you need to be in my "Image of the Month" club. Sign up here - you've got to be in it to win it!
