For the September 2011 wallpaper I have chosen a monotone image displaying a warm paper tone color. The photo was taken during summer a few years back in the center of Stockholm and shows details of a large sail ship.

Getting back to work today after having had a wonderful holiday with some beach time?
Well, here is an opportunity to extend that beach time while being back at work, the August 2011 wallpaper!
Four months ago I let you choose the April 2011 wallpaper among various alternatives. The above photo came up as #2 in that list and so I decided to make it the August 2011 wallpaper. The photo was taken on the Dutch west coast near Schoorl. Hope you enjoy it!

The month of July is upon us and the summer has started. Therefore for the July 2011 wallpaper I have chosen one of my images of a Dandelion visualizing the transition of spring to summer.
The photo was taken early in June this year. It is a close-up / macro photo taken under simple circumstances. In our living room window I put the Dandelion in front of a white piece of paper. The window gave some back-light from the sun, no other light source was used. The hardest part was actually to get the Dandelions home without destroying them, as they are very fragile in this state.

Wow… another month has passed and it is already the 1st of June, so I owe you a new wallpaper. Here it is!
Last week I spent a few days on the east-coast of Sweden, 150km north of Stockholm. I visited the fishing village Grisslehamn and the neighboring island Singö.
In front of Singö lies the small island Svartklubben (The Black Club) with on it a lighthouse surrounded by typical Swedish wooden red houses. It can be photographed well from Singö with a telelens.
The coming weeks I will post some more images from the trip to Grisslehamn and Singö.

As I am still spending time in the Netherlands I have the opportunity to celebrate Queen’s Day here today. Queen’s Day celebrates the birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands and is supposed to be a day of national unity and “togetherness”. Originally it was Queen Juliana (the mother of our current Queen Beatrix) who had birthday on 30 April. Although Queen Beatrix’s birthday is on 31 January, she officially celebrates her birthday on 30 April. On this day the Royal Family is touring through the country and visiting one or two villages to celebrate. Today they visit the villages Weert and Thorn in the most southern province of the Netherlands, Limburg.
Usually the weather is good on this day. The spring is in full swing and everything is growing and blooming with fresh colors and beautiful smells. Therefore the May 2011 wallpaper is from a photo I took earlier in the week in the eastern part of the Netherlands and shows fresh green leaves still wet from an early morning spring shower.

The April 2011 wallpaper is dedicated to my beloved mother, Yvonne Timmermans-Regeer. She passed away last week after a two year fight against cancer. With her passing away I loose the biggest fan of my photography. She loved the sea, so may her soul find rest and peace on this pathway to infinity.
Following a question in my previous blog post I received input via the various social network sites on which of the presented photos should become the April 2011 wallpaper. Upon popular request I have chosen photo #2. A good friend of my wife has called it “Pathway to Infinity” and so its name will be. Kim, thanks for naming this photo in a way I could not have done better myself.
The photo was taken during sunset at Camperduin near the city of Schoorl on the west coast of the Netherlands.
