The first person to correctly guess what my avatar is (apart from a boat sailing!) wins, a, erm... prize

Apart from being a 50x50 JPG image, with the filename of defaultav, it doesn't ring any bells.

If its not based on Enterprise, then its also not based on Chichester harbour.

That brings me the the rather dodgy conclusion that it must be based on a sailing game or a painting by some unknown artist...

Any further clues ?

Lol, it's called that because it will be used as the default avatar on a forum I'm writing.

TCA, When you say that if it's not from Enterprise then it's not of Chichester harbour - does the harbour feature in the beginning sequence?

It is a Jpeg file. But what of.... Can you clarify what you mean...

No you wouldn't - you would end up dead... And the balls are called Rover, by the way...

Portmerion, that's the fake Italian village, no?

Clues

- It's not a painting of anywhere
- It's not a photo of a place
- It's on something

Ah, of course. Although most of the time my icons are set to small on a 1600x1200 (or above screen). And they have been defaulted to something else long ago...
