March 2011 wallpaper

March 2011 wallpaper

Today it is the 1st of March already, thus time to post the new free calendar wallpaper for this month.

The chosen photo was taken during the last February storm on the west coast of the Netherlands, near the village of Petten. It was hard to walk on a straight line due to the enormous winds, but some people took the challenge and walked along the coastline to get some fresh air.

In these days of darkness, snow, rain and low temperatures it is good to be reminded of the warm summer season to come. Therefor my February 2011 wallpaper is dedicated to a summer seaside beach view of a palm leaf parasol.

The image was taken on Aruba, the “Happy Island” in the Caribbean, during an early morning sunrise at Palm Beach.

December 2010 wallpaper

December 2010 wallpaper

After having skipped the November 2010 wallpaper due to some technical difficulties here is the December 2010 wallpaper.

The photo for the December 2010 wallpaper was taken at the beach on the east coast of India. I was traveling in Orissa and stayed a week in Puri, a city well known for the Jagannath Temple. Just north of Puri lies the small fishing village Polkata where I spent two days shooting the life of the local fishermen. The colored flags on the photo are placed directly on the beach surrounded by the fishing boats.

For photos from the fishing village please visit the India: Polkata gallery (black & white).

It is almost the first of the month and thus time for a new wallpaper.

The chosen photo for the October 2010 wallpaper comes from the Sweden: Farstanäs series. I took this photo while I was camping south of Södertalje, close to Järna in an area known as Farstanäs. A long exposure time (20sec) was used in combination with a graduated neutral density (GND) filter to hold back some of the sky light.

It was the week after midsummer and the weather was great. In the late evenings the sky would fill with pink and magenta colors while the sun was setting. Although the image breaths of a certain tranquility it was much less like that at the time. While my camera was registering the image I was beating mosquitoes from my legs and forehead while trying not the hit my tripod…
