(Usually in Centaur typeface.)<br /><br />Maybe this should be the subject of a separate blog post.

I first started wondering about this whole influence thing when, I believe, the banner was soft warm colors and the photo below changed from something warm to something cool. <br /><br />Regardless, both of your banner choices are in sync with the colors and feel of the gull photo for me, including the curve of the railway (?) mimicking the curve of the gull's wing.<br /><br />I'd like to see further experiments as your muse allows.juditnoreply@blogger.com
