Has anyone wondered how I got or created the somewhat abstract solar wind image that is the background for the heading of this blog?  It actually began as a photograph of a sunrise surrounded by tree branches.  I than used a photo editor to shift the colors to more blue and purple so it would match the colors of the candles to the right and the overall color scheme of the blog.  Then I used a special effect call "twist".  If you imagine the photo on a piece of cloth and you grab the center and twist it, thats what the effect did.
