Call me inquisitive but as a fairly new member I'm curious about something and so far haven't found an answer here.
Who designed and rendered the site's Header, Laurelin and Telperion?
I ask bc I think it's wonderful. It was actually what first drew me to the website, a hook I kept returning to when deciding which site to join. But more than merely a hook, more a symbol of the underlying foundation of the site. An overarching representation of what one could hope to find here, knowledge, wisdom, friendship, camaraderie, good cheer and enough diversity of thought to please most.
In seven hours the glory of each tree waxed to full and waned again to naught; and each awoke once more to life an hour before the other ceased to shine. Thus in Valinor twice every day there came a gentle hour of softer light when both trees were faint and their gold and silver beams were mingled.
...
And each day of the Valar in Aman contained twelve hours, and ended with the second mingling of the lights, in which Laurelin was waning but Telperion was waxing. But the light that was spilled from the trees endured long, ere it was taken up into the airs or sank down into the earth; and the dews of Telperion and the rain that fell from Laurelin Varda hoarded in great vats like shining lakes, that were to all the land of the Valar as wells of water and of light. Thus began the Days of the Bliss to Valinor; and thus began also the Count of Time.
Thanks for your reply.
