Tell me what you think of it.

It updates the avatar to the same source image that I use on other sites.

Never Forget to Pray!

"...prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Ghost can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer. Pray for prayer---pray till you can pray; pray to be helped to pray, and give not up praying because you cannot pray, for it is when you think you cannot pray that you are most praying. Sometimes when you have no sort of comfort in your supplications, it is then that your heart---all broken and cast down---is really wrestling and truly prevailing with the Most High."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, from the pamphlet, "Effective Prayer"

Well I have to look quite close at it, but there's a man's head, mountain and a flag. Its graphically very well done.
Sorry was that too deep analysing without point?

Makes me think of the book Pilgrim's Progress, for some reason.

The Celestial City, perhaps?

It is scaled way, way down from a much larger graphic.

Once you look at it you will see several elements:

a portrait photograph of me taken by a friend who is a professional wedding photographer

Text, of course

My own sky photograph as background (with some bits drawn to the front for effect)

and

What began existence as structured art on the Amiga platform, having been created in PageStream, and titled “Visions of Love”.

The elements were put together in the GIMP on my Ubuntu Linux machine. I use various sizes and form factors for different purposes, like the most recent masthead of my newsletter, the background for my return address labels, the background for CD labels, etc.
