I got it - thanks so much.   Have just saved it to print out later - this is the kind of thing I go for when I look at art work of any kind - always makes me want to enter the picture and begin to roam around.  I am going to use this as wallpaper for my computer screen, also - I have a couple of others that I found at various times when I was looking for ??? - (who knows by now) - Appreciate this and it turned out fine.  I enjoy all the photos you have on your site, but this one always grabbed me. ..

Thanks again.
