Crystalline Incandescence web backgrounds (#2: pinkish)

What is Turkey? It is a name which explains nothing, for no formula can embrace the variety of the countries marked "Ottoman" on the map: the High Yemen, with its monsoons and tropical cultivation; the tilted rim of the Hedjaz, one desert in a desert zone that stretches from the Sahara to Mongolia; the Mesopotamian rivers, breaking the desert with a strip of green; the pine-covered mountain terraces of Kurdistan, which gird in Mesopotamia as the hills of the North-West Frontier of India gird the Plains; the Armenian highlands, bleak as the Pamirs, which feed Mesopotamia with their snows and send it the soil they cannot keep themselves; the Anatolian peninsula--an offshoot of Central Europe with its rocks and fine timber and mountain streams, but nursing a steppe in its heart more intractable than the Puszta of Hungary; the coast-lands--Trebizond and Ismid and Smyrna clinging to the Anatolian mainland and Syria interposing itself between the desert and the sea, but all, with their vines and olives and sharp contours, keeping true to the Mediterranean; and then the waterway of narrows and land-locked sea and narrows again which links the Mediterranean with the Black Sea and the Russian hinterland, and which has not its like in the world.

Pinkish background.

This is a set of Crystalline Incandescence web backgrounds (wallpapers) using pastel or pale colours which I've made because for me, most backgrounds on offer are too intrusive. The idea is that dark text should show up against the background. These crystalline incandescence backgrounds are copyright © Regard-it 2004. You may use these crystalline incandescence backgrounds on your web site, but only if you include the following, complete with hyperlink to www.regard-it.com: Background copyright © Regard-it 2004
