A Long-Expected Party
This is my desktop background. It’s Gandalf while he’s still “the Grey”. I don’t know if the image depicts Gandalf as he journeys to the Shire to confirm his suspicions about Bilbo’s ring (now in the possession of Frodo), or after he meets with Radagast and sets off toward Isengard. Either way, I love the sense of urgency in Gandalf’s expression and gait contrast with the tranquility of the Shire as the clouds disperse in the background.
It is my desktop image because, besides being a dork, I like to be reminded that the world has never concerned itself with how busy its inhabitants happen to be.
nice pic 🙂 Chris

Yes, I have to laugh when storms are used to symbolize character angst. NYC birds singing like always on 9/11 is a much better reflection of reality as I’ve experienced it….

Either I received your card, or something very interesting is going on. “Zombies hate that you are awesome.” Came with a bookmark too. 🙂

Just realized I didn’t comment on the picture here. It’s quite cool. RYN: A nice couch and table for a combined $400 is awesome, but what the heck kind of rug is that?
