Easter vacation.

, ,

Peace and quiet. Today I had the day off with nothing on the agenda. We've been watching quite some episodes of Deep Space Nine and generally had it very relaxing.

Tomorrow we'll be going to Skien with the buss that leaves at 1130. It's ETA is approximately 2.5 hours later, so we'll catch the best of the day there. We'll pick up our car in Skien too, where it has survived the winter. It will be very nice to get the car again, as it makes it easier visiting family and friends that live further away than where the buses, trams and trains of Oslo easily carries us.

I am, believe it or not, considering changing my layout again. Don't worry, I've gotten a theme that I am quite pleased with (although I might try to experiment some with the sidebar at a later point in time. Some part in me wants to have a white background of the blog to simplify reading and for general slickness. White on black looks a bit emotional in the end, so I'll probably stick to the plan and repaint the design white. The problem is: I do not have any suitable header images. As such, I'll have to speculate and, hopefully, find something that fits a white design.

The main criteria of the design header will be:
- Merry! I want to have something that I can look at and feel the urge to write in this blog. Something that fills me with memories, happy thoughts and that I feel proud of.
- Since I have used about all images I made and put up on DeviantART, I'll have to look through free stock sites to find something.
- Natural! I've quite enjoyed the past images I've used of natural evironments. Mainly due to the fact that I can dream away into the landscape and imagine things. Yeah, it sounds creepy but I took myself in doing that at work some time ago when I still had my tornado design.

Does anyone know of any good and free stock image websites, except sxc.hu? :smile:

Good luck with your new layout Rob! Mmm saying byebye to white on black text is a big plus, since it makes reading not really comfortable P: I would go for a dark grey on white, it is elegant and relaxing :D

Yeah, I had thoughts about that too. Dark gray or black, depending on what colours I might find in the header image. :-)

Maybe in next days I can take some photos of my island and you can find something you like, for the header :smile:

I'll try to find some stock images first. I suppose I'll work on this tonight and tomorrow when there's little left to do. Hopefully I'll find a suiting picture. I want... green plains or plants. Yum! :D

I look forward to the new look....I agree with the black vs. white argument. I prefer white, myself. Seems more clean looking to me. :smile:

It all comes down to the mood we want the blog to be in. I wanted a dark design as my previous design was very bright white. Having a clean blog is also something that I want to achieve. :smile:

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll look through them! I found quite a nice picture at sxc.hu yesterday which I will try to get into a design this weekend. :smile:
