Today’s assignment: create and upload a simple header, or test out a few different backgrounds.
Today I tried out a few different headers as suggested using some of the stock images that come with the Twenty Eleven Theme as well as a few of my own photos. I ended up using today’s new header image, a photo taken early one morning when we visited the Canadian War Memorial at Vimy, Northern France in 2012. After then trialling a number of background colors I felt that a teal blue looked the best, but after receiving Michelle’s comment I switched to the current blue grey, which is definitely a better choice I think, don’t you? Thanks Michelle.
After our memorable and very moving visit to Vimy I made a video using many of my photographs, which I was able to post on YouTube in time for Remembrance Day. The video opens with the full image of the header, and If you have a few minutes you might enjoy watching it and particularly listening to the beautiful Adagio from Schubert’s String Quintet, which plays whilst the photo gallery is showing and starts nearly two minutes into the video. Enjoy…

The header photo is gorgeous! For a background, did you try pulling some colors out of the photo, like the duskier blue shade around some of the clouds in your header, or even a dark gray?
Thanks Michelle. I will definitely give it a try and repost tomorrow with a modification of the text, acknowledging your invaluable input of course 🙂
What do you think Michelle?
