Chiliwailer Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hope you all enjoy the picture, it's Antelope Canyon in Arizona, and a precious place for the Navajo. Though I'm sure the picture will also throw up some other great inspirations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once my ops and stuff are over (end of month or so, with any luck..?), I could lift the curtain on the days and nights of a retired sedentary armchair ex-musician with time on his hands and a barrow-load of projects 'on the go' at any one time.
