I like it!
I'd add in a focus and active rule to your link rules like this:
#navigation a:focus, #navigation a:hover, #navigation a:active{
border: 1px solid #456;
background-color: #456;
That gives you the same effect when tabbing round the page.
You've got a few style rules in your document head - I'd move them into your stylesheet otherwise you'll make it difficult to keep track of rule conflicts and make it harder to change stuff.
You know, if I were you with such a pretty grey site, I'd grayscale the W3C icon thingy (actually I'd just leave it out completely but that's me!) or use a prettier version from somewhere like this: http://gtmcknight.com/buttons/validated.php

It's a tad, grey. I think the logo could do with a bit of spicing up and the background could be a bit more exciting! You could maybe shift the valid xhtml button into the bottom panel, or just have it as a text link. At the minute that's the only thing that actually jumps out at me.
From a coding perspective, there's a lot of styles hard-coded into the HTML which could be stored externally which may become hard to manage.
It's not too bad, just not too inspiring either.

My only comment would be that that house on the cliff in colour seems a little incongruous in the midst of all the grey, and I'm wondering if perhaps either that photo needs to be greyscale too
I have the same image a day later in deep fog, ain't no color there. I'll see how it looks.
