Last week I tooled around the ice cap over Katla, adjacent to the ice cap over the erupting volcano -- I'm too lazy to look up the names right now -- using Panoramio. I compiled a collection of images that confirm I need to get there someday. I was going to post them this week.
But anyway, time's pressing. I also discovered last week that National Geographic provides desktop quality images monthly. Great stuff. I found an example and I'll link to where they are if you're interested (the source link above). Covers the whole range of National Geographic subjects.
Click the picture below for full-size, but if you want the even bigger wallpaper, click the link above.
If you go to the March 2010 photos, the image next to the one I'm featuring here, of the sea stacks, is also really stunning.
I guess we should cue up Mendelssohn's "Hebrides Overture" while looking at these pictures.

I’ve always been a fan of Scotland’s geography.
I’ve never been to the Hebrides either, but I have been to Scotland several times.

Thanks again Cogitator. Always very nice the pics you find.
