Yesterday Michelle and I went back to Stranleigh for the behind-the-scenes tour. We had a great time and heard some interesting stories, but I didn’t get as many pictures as I would’ve liked.

These were all taken in early 2013 at the Toledo Museum of Art. Wide angle and HDR showcase the museum’s amazing architecture.

I’ve always been interested in stately homes, and since we bought our house my interest has only increased. I love seeing elaborate decor and thinking about how I could do the same thing (on a smaller scale) in our own house. Without the budget of an industrial tycoon, I can’t do everything I want at once, but having future plans makes the “March 2043” payoff date on our mortgage statements a little easier to swallow.
Here’s a little demo of CSS 2D transforms and transitions I put together for the HTML5 blog article. It pulls photos from my Flickr photostream and positions them randomly, with a random skew transform. When you hover the photos they zoom in and straighten up: http://ohiodave.com/tests/css2d/flickr.html
