I started out with the idea of the Eiffel Tower but found the most gorgeous house in Provence with geraniums and roses all over. It makes me so happy to look at it.
Besides, I have 4 Eiffel Towers on my desk already. My 2 year old granddaughter loves the desk top. I look at it and the Eiffel Towers with her and tell her about France and how I will take her there some day.

My desktop is of the Eiffel tower at night,taken from the Trocadero. Francophile - I have taken so many pictures of Notre Dame and none compare to yours. It's beautiful. I too visit Notre Dame everytime I am in Paris. First thing I do when I enter Notre Dame is to light a candle for my mother.

I just got home and opened "worldinabag"'s links and now I see why these two beautiful pictures were filtered and deemed "pornography" at my work computer. Below the pictures are the following advertisements:

By the way, that gal on my desktop appears to be a study for the sculpture on the northeast pillar of the Arc de Triomphe (facing Avenue de Friedland). I snapped it with a crappy camera and available light in the Arc museum just below the roof.
The final version seems to have turned out a little more restrained: France is still exhorting <i>La Grande Armée</i> forward, but somewhat less desperately, by my read.

Of course! I currently have a view of the Jungfrau and neighboring mountains taken from near Murren. I got the picture off the web. At my office I have a picture taken in Glacier NP.
I have a two-week-old grandson, and as soon as he stops looking so scrawny I'll have to put his picture up, at least for a while!

Usually I have a picture of one of the beaches on Anguilla.
Last week it was replaced by a picture taken in Italy, it is of the Isle of Man U15 Cricket Team, my son is a team member and they had just won the European Championship.

I alternate various travel shots with photos of my kids. I love it best when I can combine the two. One of these days I want to put together a screen saver of various trips. When I am nearing new vacations I like to put up photos that make me think about where I am going. I can't wait to put on more Italy photos.

Oh, I forgot to mention - there are around another 90,000 or so fellow Glasgow Celtic football fans in the photo too!

Yep. At the office it is a still I captured from the Good Friday Procession on the Sorrento Web Cam. It is just as the Virgin is coming along the street with the crowd holding candles, all very surreal.
At home I have my own photo of wildflowers in Positano, but I change that every few months.
