Where are the outdoor seasons themes?

It seems like all of the 2012 RT Joomla themes so far are business related where the only difference in style is that of 10 different colours. I'm operating an outdoor hiking website and I've looked through every style in every template RT ever made. There is only one theme that supports the outdoors and the changing seasons. That is the fantastic Vertigo template which chronicles the four seasons -the green alive look of spring; the blue sky and white clouds of summer, the colourful leaves of fall and the snowscapes of winter. Simply beautiful!
Hiking changes with the seasons and I use a different Vertigo style for each season (now showing the Sept, Oct, Nov, fall theme on torontohiking.com). I lead many hikers on outings and I always get huge praise for the look of the site -and that praise goes to RT. I only changed some of the "animals" to those that could be found in Southern Ontario - a Monarch butterfly instead of a gorilla and a squirrel replacing an iguana, etc. Fortunately the graphics files included make this customization of RT templates easy and fun.
Now that RT has announced that Vertigo will not be updated to 3.0 (sob!), can we please have it's look incorporated into a future theme featuring the seasons -maybe two styles for each season. Better yet please, please, please continue your only seasons theme (Vertigo) well into the future.
A while back there were complaints in this forum that there weren't enough business themes. Now that seems to be all we get. What happened to all those talented and imaginative RT designers of previous years who created incredible themes like Replicant 2 and so may others? I realize tastes have migrated to more subtle designs suitable for all purposes but does that mean we have to ignore all other uses or special uses for a theme. Is asking for one theme featuring the seasons asking for too much?

Hi Jonathon,
I like the idea. You should consider submitting this to the Requests forum. I'm not sure if you were looking for feedback but the backgrounds on all templates can be modified. Sure it would take some time but it might be worth it if your business is geared for that type of site. Maybe even use the background from the Vertigo template...
