I always thought your avatar was of Christopher Lloyd. It never occurred to me that it was actually Art Carney.

The cover of the album Morningrise by Opeth, my favorite band. It's not my favorite of their albums but I love it and it has the best cover.

This made me decide to change mine to a happy picture

Its from and artist called digitalblasphemy (http://digitalblasphemy.com)
It basically sings with the landscape I live in. I've only once seen the aurora this bright once back before I was 10 years old, I live to far south but there had been a cme on the sun, they could see auroras in England at the time.
If you remove the auora, the blueness is there still in winter time in what we call the blue hour after sunset.
And it sings in me, when I see the art

Well, from a truthful standpoint; since, I've been on WrongPlanet over the vast many years I would constantly change my avatar from day to day at times, yet often this would befuddle if not irk people; so, I chose the image of the actor whom portrayed the character of Q from James Bond movie series as, he's a down to earth person in real life

I'm hoping people like him or at least tolerate him.
I'm hoping they continue that when they find out it's me.
