[masthead image: Downtown Train]I was going through some of my pictures from last summer when I came across a group of digital photos from a long weekend in Seattle, Washington. These images stirred up fond memories of a fun weekend catching up with old friends and making new ones, and they also inspired a spurt of creativity in me. In addition to writing a new blog post, I also created a new header image. It was long overdue for a refresh. As you may have noticed, I carried over the railroad theme from the previous image.
This image was made in downtown Seattle one day in late August and I don't usually photograph the Burlington Northern railroad, so this was a rare privilege. I liked the shot because of the perspective when looking back at the train. Obviously, there is too much foreground with nothing in it, so I was going to simply crop that out and use the image somewhere.
The theme I'm using on The Midnight Blogger will only allow a fixed size of image, so it auto-crops images to fit. Although I would have preferred to keep the upper part of the original image, I think the end result turned out really well. I love my blog's new look. I hope you will too.
