Well, since jase left his beloved
FC Middlesbrough, and Aviationwiz has ditched his old politicians, it's time to think about a new avatar too. One possibility is to use a flag or coat of arms with personal connotations, as jase has done, and like
Aviationwiz has gone back to. This could be

At the height of the avatar wars, I prepared this one (mainly to see how CDRecorder would react

Because of a recent astronomical highlight, I'll use a shot of the solar corona I took during the total eclipse of 11 Aug. 1999. I was lucky to get it, because clouds obscured things shortly before totality (and partly during the total phase too):
Neighbouring towns were even worse off because it rained!
Getting a picture through this partially opaque
medium was a
rare piece of luck.
So, bye bye
(gypsy medium), hello corona.
