European Tribune

Display:
For those who would like to know more about European culture - that was my idea for doing the headers of the Salon, learning more about Europe. Last year it was European history and this year it is musicians/composers, writers, and artists. I am learning a lot looking for the links to put into the headers.

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.

The headers have introduced me to loads of names I was not familiar with.  I have thought of trying similar for the OTs but the time it takes to think about what to look for and then to look for it is too much for me!  So you all get ad hoc comments and photos instead!

Good to hear. I am sometimes wondering if anyone is reading them at all. :-)

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.

I've read all your headers and often followed the links. Thanks a thousand times for your salon, Fran!
