This being such a typical Barney Brewster image, it seems a good time at no. 300 to take a break, to re-group and to see where my creative energies lead to next… This image is tailored in the 16: 10 ratio, to fit a wide screen should anyone wish to download it as desktop wallpaper (personal use only please). Thanks for watching!
