I finally got around to changing the photo in the header of this blog to reflect the season, when the sun when viewed from Waialae Beach Park appears to rise over Molokai and, eventually, Maui.

Sometime around January 22, the sunrise will begin to slowly move back to the left of the photo, over Koko Head, then Koko Crater, and on until in mid-year it is rising over parts of the Koolau Mountains, off to the left of this photo.

When I choose photos for my annual Kahala at Dawn calendars, I try to catch the movement of the sun over the course of the year. I don’t succeeed 100%, as some photos are so good that I make a place for them, even if it’s not consistent with the position of the sun during that month. And I try to do the same by changing the header here over the course of the year.

In any case, I just wanted to explain the switch.

Here’s what I haven’t figured out. The chosen header photo is incorporated into the overall “theme” used for the blog, and appears the same way on all past entries until it is changed again.

I would like to find a way to display different headers depending on the time of year of a particular post, but just don’t know how to do that.

Maybe some more knowledgeable about the ways of the digital world can school me on this.
