The picture in the header of this page is chosen randomly from, at present, 20 pictures. All are my own photographs, cropped to 865 by 180 pixels. As someone who’s been interested in panoramic photography, looking through my photos and trying to select those from which an interesting super-wide crop could be made was fascinating.

The actual crops were done with EasyCrop, a delightfully straightforward program for this sort of job. (I was actually surprised that I couldn’t do this easily with GraphicConverter, at least version 5.9.5.) The random header images was one of the reasons I was drawn to the Neoclassical Theme for this blog.

Go ahead, reload the page–the picture should change.

It was foggy this evening, which is unusual for DC. Fog, especially in the evenings, is one of the few things that evokes for me a visceral remembrance of Sacramento, my hometown. It’s weather I enjoy.
