    love it! the right way up it looks fabulous but this way it reminds me of an illustration for a children’s book – sort of hinting good magic! very clever, maggie.

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    LOL thanks nadine.. I found the hanging mountain was an unsettling image (you must be good at standing on your head..lol) til i turned it round and then phew!! all was well again with the world…magic indeed!

    Heh. Traditionalist that I am, I had to hold my laptop upside down to get a sense of this. I love it upside down! I mean when I hold my laptop upside down. But this makes a lovely mind-bender and abstract. It’s not nice to play with a sick person’s head, Maggie. We get so easily confused!
    Great shot. (You know, you could rotate it vertically…)

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    how resourceful of you ! sorry to mess with your head and heres a get well card then to give your laptop a break…lol
