{plus you can take a look at my under-construction site design}
Comments appreciated 
cant really tell whats happening, but it still kicks ass…
thanks
I just made this today: http://rivenwanderer.fateback.com/wallpapers/coloredrocks.html with a photo from the same California trip… not my best work ever, but it might be kinda fun for a desktop or something.
I really like the first one, I don’t know what it is about it but its really good…
