I honestly think I enjoy creating the banners for this site more than writing the posts they accompany! This page is an attempt to collate all of them in one place, though it may be missing a few.
The vast majority of these are my own photographs or designs. It should be obvious which ones aren’t.
Banners created for specific posts and pages

Random banners
I have these set to rotate randomly on the homepage and on individual posts and pages with no set featured image.
Retired banners
Occasionally I get tired of banners and remove them from rotation.
