Fuck me, that's gorgeous.

Kirsty said...

Err, thanks.

I wanted to something that took full advantage of the black background.

Clare Dudman said...

Lovely...very peaceful. The Milky Way on a blog. I like it.

Kirsty said...

Hi Clare,

Nice to hear from you, although I have continued to lurk over at your blog, following the progress of your writing shed, as well as your decluttering project, which sounds a whole lot more sensible than having to do it in one go the way I did when I moved from my abode of 11 years.

I'm glad you like this, I'll admit I was looking for something to calm myself at the time. Happy to spread the the peace.

Kirsty

It's absolutely beautiful. Except in the feedreader!

Kirsty said...

Oh Zoe! You've caught me out! It was all part of a nefarious plot to get people to click through. Mwa hahahaha!

Mark Lawrence said...

cool! with the 'two-finger' scrolling on the macbook trackpad, I can scroll up and down very quickly and make the stars shimmer and flicker. Very effective against the black background. and a bit trippy. Do others get the same effect with a mouse?

next you'll be signing off as e.e. cummings... ;)

Kirsty said...

Oh, I hadn't tried that Mark. It does look quite spectacular when you scroll up and down rapidly. It's much harder go up and down as rapidly with the ex-pc mouse I use.

Yes, lovely. It's a galaxy from Galaxy ...
