Hotlinking the Vegetable

Here's a nice use for this image. Dzeina has used it for a background. Generally, I don't like the effect of tiling: it throws off the composition, creates odd color combinations, and tends to add jagged ends all jutting around. This one is cool, though: the viney nature of the roses and the large content area down the center hides the edges and makes it feel more like one large image, or something from an illustrated manuscript.

This makes me realise I should start experimenting with compositions, thinking of them more as parts of something larger, and not just islands of themselves.

This page is .lv, which is Latvia. The wikipedia article saysthe languiage is Latvian, to which the closest I can get in babelfish is Russian, with which I am able to fetch server error 157. Perhaps that is the Godel encoding for the page in question.


Thanks Dzeina!
