Headers

Every so often, the header image on Nephrus used to rotate. Sometimes, the image selected was for a particular season, holiday or event. Other times, it’s a neat looking photograph that I’ve taken with my camera.

Today’s Image

Unfortunately, with the new layout, header images are a thing of the past, except on article pages which may or may not use any of photographs I’ve taken.
