chomijiWe've done this one before, folks, but lawless523 had a spiffy Gravitation image on hers so I commented and now have to play! Besides, last time I did my office PC. This time, it's the Mac at home, but it's still a landscape photo.
This is Great Pond in Eastham, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. I took the photo this past summer. I just liked the peacefulness of it. I guess I should get some Saiyuki or other fannish wallpapers, but I haven't seen all that many I like.
ETA: Besides, I like how the Mac OS X application dock at the bottom really looks like a dock, overlooking the pond!
yours is very calm and serene.

Of course it's a warm day in the summer, so the air was pretty still. The ripples are mostly from people splashing - the protected swimming area was behind me as I took the picture.

Pretty men or pretty women could get distracting.

For whatever reason I didn't find it too distracting. Familiarity brees complacency, I guess.

LOL ... I am such a party-pooper when it comes to that type of art: all I can think is "Gee, she's going to be picking bark and moss out of all sorts of places!"
