It is not always easy to find interesting stuff, for example, in February there was an interesting Spanish writer (can't remember his name right now), whose books have been translated into German but not into English. Most Almanacs are Anglo focused. So, I am trying to look out for the serious to the silly stuff, about Europe.
I started out with quotes. We even used the quotes for a while on the OT. However, I feel your pictures are such a nice contrast to the left brained features and they are so lovely. So I see no reason why you should change them.
