Fun with fading header images

I didn't want an overly "busy" header change. I played a bit with Photoshop and took my basic header photo of a lighthouse near here and applied some artistic filters. Then I added the 2 new ones to the header images folder and chose to have them rotate with Javascript, and to fade in and out. I think the effect is quite nice, very subtle. You have to really look hard to notice the difference between the watercolor and the smudged ones.

(I may play with other effects later, so this might look different by the time you see it.)

It works fine in Safari, Chrome and Firefox on a Mac. If you see problems with other browsers or platforms, please let me know here.

I should add that I'm using Wordpress 3.0 and Atahualpa 3.5.3 on this site. It's wonderful to have the fading effect built-in as an option, no fancy JS coding required by the user.
