Legends in the Trees

I was in the mood for some new desktop wallpaper, so I photographed the sun setting through the woods at a friend’s house… Played with it in PS for a bit and then thought I could hide a face in there. Or two. Or…. Jimi Hendrix John Lennon Pete Townshend Bob Marley David Gilmour Mick Jagger Bruce Springsteen Johnny Cash Jim Morrison Bob Dylan Miles Davis Jerry Garcia Frank Zappa ….. And so, Legends in the Trees……..

    I don’t know you, but this background is awesome. I used it. If you don’t want me to, let me know and I’ll stop using it. Thank you for making this though. Bob Marley’s face was the first one my eyes noticed. Mad mad mad mad mad super mad props.
