I take one wideishbackground image, duplicate it and then merge the two layers together so they're joined side by side. Then try and hide the join with the clone tool and smudge tool. Then you apply a motion blur to the whole thing and move the layer to three different positions, ie. move it left, then left a bit more, then more still. Once you play it back it will loop forever
Edit: I'm a bit crap at explaining but I'm sure there will be a tutorial about somewhere

My Dear Dogtanian,What an eloquent explanation. I'd normally do the same grab-another-background thing only I inherited the pic from someone else who did an ace job already: 
I had to animate it as a sort of homage. It's like hummus only quieter.

It's more impressivethat you had to work with the existing backgound, it makes for a great pic, classic stuff
