You might have noticed that the background image on my website has finally changed. (If it’s still the same for you, do a hard refresh, which is Ctrl+F5 on most browsers.)

For those of you who were wondering, the previous picture that I had as my background was a picture of Chicago taken by someone who offered his/her picture for public use. I chose to use that picture because at that time, I was still back at home in Illinois, and I wanted to have the background photo relevant to some aspect of my life.

I intended on changing the background picture to something Madison-related as soon as I arrived back in Madison, but I wasn’t able to find any good free public-use photographs of Madison. I ended up keeping the Chicago photo for a while until I finally got the motivation today to change it.

Now, it’s a picture of Bascom Hill and half of Bascom Hall.

That’s a photograph I took last year in mid-October. It’s not a very good photograph, but it’ll have to do for now. I’ll change it to a better photo if I ever remember to bring a high-quality camera around and end up running into a scenic view.
