Fall is in the air

fall is in the air

I was going to work this morning and like every other Friday there tends to be less traffic so I set off a little later than normal. As I know I can get there on time. On my way I pass a stretch of country side and since this area ia pretty high up you get to see a lovely panoramic of all the hills around and the small little building dotted around.

In the mornings specially when the weather is a little foggy a mist covers part of the landscape. It really is quite a beautiful site in the mornings. I can imagine its probably under appreciated as everyone else like myself is only there as they are driving to a destination and at that time in the morning likely to be work.

I’ve noticed the weather can create some wonderful scenery and completely change the surroundings or at least let you see it in a different light. This morning was rather special.

The night before had been very cold and in the morning as its becoming light I was driving along and when I came to the main road I noticed an amazing skyline which I must admit I have never witnessed before. The sun appeared to be rising but it was not visible. The sky was full of lots of small little ripple like clouds that were giving the sky a textured look not much unlike the earth surface if we were to look down on it. What was truly amazing was the colour of the sky. It was an immense golden orange colour which was filling the whole sky with its hue.

I have seen some truly post card style scenery along this route but today the golden orange sky added colour even to the clouds and I was in awe by how impressive the sky looked. So much in fact I felt like parking up on the side of the road to take a picture.

I couldn’t stop and take a picture as I had set off late, also I knew that the sky would only stay like this for some minutes only. So I include a picture at the top which is also quite impressive. Its been awhile since the weather has made me feel like ‘wow how amazing’.

Yink Autumn Winter 2008 edition

Hello and welcome to Yink.net Autumn/Winter 2008 edition. This new skin is called Artist Journal its a modified version of Notepad Chaos original by Evan Eckard you can get the original skin from here.

I modified and tried to change as many elements as possible. The core code is as is I have done very little to it. I have added more textures and given it a darker feel. This is to reflect the shorter days we will experience. The core change to Yink is attributed to two reasons, 1. is the shift in the direction of Yink (as always : ) 2. is a gift I received which was a beautiful journal type book I received which I haven’t as yet used (silly I know). As for the Autumn Winter edition I hope to change the skin with the season, so its always fresh and new.

I explain a little more than I usually do as I was looking back at my old skins and thinking, ‘oh I don’t have a picture of such and such a skin which I did a while ago’. Which is sad as there has been many skins to this blog. I still had the last two skins saved so I created images of them to keep as a record here, so from oldest to newest:

The Love4U skin, by far my most favourite skin. The large image at the front was changed every month.

Beautify is my last skin before Artist Journal. The day of the week was written in Japenese and French.

Artist Journal my current skin. The style of this was done in a way which later flash sites began to use with real textures and objects before video made it big in flash. It does have some borrowed elements from Beautify. Thanks to Flo for reminding me its good enough isn’t actually good enough!
