    Good to highlight the design inspiration that you can get from non-traditional areas. Colors and shapes in natural landscape can give you loads of material for design, and I love how you’ve focused on a very specific topic. Just “natural landscape” is too all encompassing, but “Cliffs and Islands” is a great focus.

    …though the joke was lame! ;)

    As a thought for a future color inspiration – “Sporting victor and defeat”. I find sports photography often has great contrasts of color and light, and there’s some excellent, vibrant imagery in the agony of wins and losses, whether on a professional level or at the local amateur event.

    I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays..
