Reading the other Tim's response to your comment amused me, caught me off guard initially, as I hadn't respond to you. Having read his posts and seen his submission this week of his UN Marine Chrono, (great pic BTW) I see where the confusion comes from.
So, I thought I'd respond to your question about my avatar...it is by my home looking out over the Pacific due west. Over the years I have taken rather a lot of these "sundowner" images, and in actual fact this particular avatar one I believe was shot by my daughter 3 years ago one evening.
Inspired, I now had to go through the old hard drive for the past 4 years and see what's what in regard to that avatar pic, what follows is rather incriminating, but remember these are taken over a 4 yr period and we are blessed with superb sunsets, particularly in the winter months...The lesser quality pics are snapped on the iphone, others my proper camera!
