Have you tried to do that transparent screen trick?

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

I've tried, but it takes more concentration and patience than I usually have.

that's a great picture!~paul

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks Paul!

[fivecats.livejournal.com]

there's a whole series of images where the desktop image is of the background and sized perfectly so as to be 'transparent.'

of course, i have no idea where to find any of those images, so i'm being next to worthless here.

which version os x are you running?

...

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

I've seen some of those--I tried it once, and it is a lot harder than it looks.

One of the old Pink Floyd album covers does something like this--I think it is Umma Gumma.

I'm running the version of os x that is the one prior to the one they just rolled out. I know it is an animal name, but I don't remember which one. I want to say "OS X Wildebeest", but only because I like the sound of it.

Great pic. I'm going to try it when I get home. IF I get there.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

It sure is! I wish I didn't have to work today so I could stay home and enjoy it.

I saw a thread on a message board once where someone did that with pictures of cats looking at the monitor at... pictures of cats looking at the monitor at... you see my recursive point. ;)

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

It was just one of those things where I was looking at a picture and wanted to re-do, and said, ahhhh!

I really like this photo.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

I like it too. I made it my desktop.

Interesting! The outer scene is monochrome while the inner scene is polychrome.

For some reason, I always assumed that you lived like a Hobbit in the rolling hills of the countryside. But if not in the countryside, are you still a Hobbit?

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

that's right--i desaturated part of it.

i live in the suburbs. i am a city hobbit.
