I've been using the same avatar for many years now. A few times people have asked about it's origin. The avatar is a cropped part of the picture on the right.
The monkey is a snow macaque in an onsen at Jigokudani, near Nagano, Japan. For those of you familiar with the movie Baraka, these are the same group of monkeys that are depicted at the beginning of Baraka, dozing in the hot spring bath.
I took the picture in 1999, while living in Japan.
