This is a portrait of Tim, 60. He's a steelworker at Splinter and tries not to get too involved in woodwork if he can help it - although he is on hand if he is needed.
CEO of Applied Materials Mike Splinter accepts his Service Leadership Award.

Saturn's shadow interrupts the planet's rings, leaving just thin slivers
of the rings visible in this image, which shows a pair of the planet's
small moons.
This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just
above the ringplane. Most of the main rings are darkened by the shadow of
the planet, which stretches across the center of the image, but the thin F
ring can be seen extending across more of the image. Helene (33
kilometers, or 21 miles across) is in the center top of the image.
Epimetheus (113 kilometers, or 70 miles across) is in the lower right.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Nov. 7, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance
of approximately 2.6 million kilometers (1.6 million miles) from Helene.
Image scale is 15 kilometers (9 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were
designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is
based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

I was lucky enough to find this splintered tree at Scorhill, Dartmoor. It gives interesting shots from many angles (or so I think!).
