All Hail My New Livejournal Layout!!!

[paragraphs]

As I whined this weekend, I accidentally killed my beloved layout that Nick made for me. kel_reiley leaped to the rescue, offering her services in creating a new layout for me.

This coincided with Nick asking me to write another Wales Travel Post...and feeling the love for that land myself (and our trip coming up in just a few weeks) I sent a few pictures I loved that might work for a new LJ header. We decided on this one.

Nick took the picture during our scant hour or so in Gwbert. I absolutely fell in love with this place--little as I saw of it--as it was, for me, as I stood there on those cliffs and looked out on Cardigan Bay and the Atlantic beyond, an absolute moment of awe. I felt very small, and yet amazing, watching those waves crash, the seagulls swoop about, standing their with Nick as he took photographs. I couldn't believe where my life had taken me over the previous 4.5 (then) years, and I realized how happy and glad I was to be able to stand where I never thought I'd ever be. Man oh man, how amazing that was.

So having this as my header is extra-special for those reasons.

Thank you Kel for making my beautiful new layout! I love it, so does Nick. It is wonderful, and I'll enjoy it for a long time to come.

Wow. That's such a stunning panorama, with the radiant white hotel on the headland. Beautiful. Makes for a most excellent header :D

The only snaps I've got of Wales are all on slides, and given I've only so far scanned a half dozen of my trip to the US in '89 they should appear in the next three decades...

The whitness of the hotel and the houses along Gwbert Road were very striking. I just loved how CLEAR all the colors were. I have more pics coming and on our return trip I hope to take better ones.

I have ALOT of sheep pictures. LOL. An awful lot.
