Masthead photo ideas

For some time, I've wanted to set up my own weblog in such a way that it would have a set of "masthead photos" that would rotate throughout the year, with possible constraints -- some holiday-specific, to be run for N days preceding, say, valentines, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc; some simply related to the season; and some just nice pictures.

Some sources:

  • black bg with Xmas-lit boats
  • Anticip___ation
  • Somehow, the China Cove lit-up arch gotta be there
  • stuffed puppies
  • Ben's photo of trail tread from a segment of the John Muir Trail
For awhile, I've had some mock-ups of some of these on one of the URLs that lead to my home Mac, when it's awake, but those addresses appear to be broken at the moment.

[Edit: my dynamic IP address changed, and I didn't notice, and I don't have any automatic update for it set up. So these banner shot test designs (minus Anticip___ation, but plus Lake 10,199 even though it's not my photo) are at http://zia.mine.nu for now, whenever my Mac is up and running.]

Unfortunately, it appears that some folks at Google had a similar idea (themes for their personalized homepages), so once I get mine deployed, it'll look just a bit less original. Oh, well -- at least they'll mostly be my own photos.
