So, I was going through my icons, and I got frustrated at the lack of a decent writing icon. Something reasonably personal, but not too esoteric. So I started making icons out of pictures on my harddrive.

I made 70.

They're all blank, and you're welcome to use any of them as bases, but please credit me for the base. Standard "comment, credit, take" rule applies. I'm willing to alter any on request (as far as I can!) and supply original images.

Landscapes include Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Cornwall and York. Skyscapes include Clouds, Sunsets and Lightning.



Icons made from photographs I've taken.
1 - 8 Lake District
9 - 37 Yorkshire Dales
38 - 46 Frost (in St Nicholas's Fields, York)
47 - 54 Cornwall
55 - 57 Sunsets

Well, that was a productive use of my afternoon. Marginally more so than going to give blood, and being told I can't until after my MRI. (Actually, that was reasonably productive, because the Merchant Taylor's Hall is purdy).

I've still not done the washing up. Ugh.

It amazes me how much Yorkshire can look like Devon, and how homesick that can make me.

To be honest, I'm going cross-eyed trying to tell the difference between the Lakes and Yorkshire in some of these; I'm lucky there aren't any landscape shots of Cornwall. Nothing really looks like Surrey, though. Only Home Counties really look like each other; heaths and downs just look different in the rest of the country when they're not full of london commuters and constantly audible traffic.

Having wandered off to Guildford the other week I have to say I was astonished that anyone can actually *live* there at all. :(

There are pretty bits, they're just... well hidden. And not in Guildford. I do love my pretty Surrey villages, and I miss woods and forests a lot up here, but between the expense and the overcrowding, I'm not leaping to move back to Surrey any time soon.

Wow - these are really pretty. If I didn't already have more icons than I could use, I would undoubtedly want to snag some.

I like teh icon you've used with this post, as well.

That's my new default icon; it's creditted on the page, if you want to nab it.

I don't actually intend to use any of the new icons myself. They're just for having, for now. I'll probably use most of them as bases for stuff.

Oh, those are lovely. I am nabbing many and will use, with credit. :)
