What better to do on a slow summer afternoon than make a wallpaper? 
I love this picture of Reep from VDT, and when I was trying to decide what text I wanted to use with it, one of my favorite CS Lewis quotes popped into my head. I thought it fit nicely with the picture... so I used it! This WP is rather simple, but I hope you enjoy it! I'd love to know what you think!
"Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only hope,
Lest I blink and be swept off the narrow road.
Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me,
'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need.
For He is the saving grace of the Galaxies."

This is beautiful!! 
That is also my #1 favorite quote from CS Lewis! 
I love the light colors on the background and the picture you used goes perfect with the quote. I love it lots!

Very sweet! I like the coloring, and the quote.
There's a dark line on the left side of the picture. Is that supposed to be there?

Many thanks, DamselJillPole, Ithilwen, and Libby!
Ithilwen, Wow! I hadn't even noticed that line/shadow thing! I didn't put it there intentionally, but I couldn't figure out how it got there or how to fix it. Is it really distracting?

Wow, it's amazing! The colors are so beautiful! I hope you don't mind that I used it as the lock screen on my iPod? If it's a problem I'll be glad to take it off.

It happens automatically with a lot of pictures. I'm not sure why. I always try to check mine for it before I save them. It's best to fix them if you can. To fix it, you take the smudge tool, and pull the colors next to the line over it to cover it up.

Cute! And it makes the sad ending truly sweet instead! I love this! It's cool how Reep is up close and personal and everyone else is so far away. Love whatever you did to make it look more surrealistic or like a painting or whatever, it's neat!

Narnian Wolf, It is absolutely fine! In fact I'm honored that you're using it!
Ithilwen, Thanks for the tip! Our little smudgey friend did the trick and I uploaded the edited version to my original post.
Lucy of Narnia, Thank you so much for your lovely comments! I'm glad you enjoy it!

Dekkie! Absolutely Gorgeous! You captured that part of the scene so well! I love it! And how perfect to use a non-Narnian Lewis quote for it!

Oooh!! I LOVE this! There is such drama to the piece! I love how you did the text too. Very effective.
I only have one complaint... What happened to the size of your wallpapers? 
You used to have a screen JUST like mine! You get a new computer or something?
