Mildly cute graphic effect

I was putting in some "links back to home" on a few of my pages, and I accidentally came across this effect. Take a look at the bus graphic at the bottom of this page. The bus seemed to almost float above the background. Yes, yes, warm colors advance and cool recede, but the colors in the graphic aren't that warm. I think there may be a little more going on that just that, and it didn't necessarily come out of that glass of iced coffee I haven't gotten around to getting, yet.

You can read the rest of that page if you want, I guess, but it's mostly just me telling my side of the story of a dispute with a group of drugged out Burning Man people (no, that's not redundant ... OK, maybe it is), so aside from the visual effect I have you looking at, maybe the most interesting thing to come out of that page is the question of where I got such poor taste in selecting the company I keep.
