In five days, on June 6th, we will celebrate the Swedish national day, previously known as the Swedish flag day. Therefore the June 2012 wallpaper shows a true Swedish sight.

The photo was taken from Skeppsholmen in central Stockholm viewing the old city (Gamla Stan) in early morning sun light.

November 2011 wallpaper small

The free desktop wallpaper for November 2011 is posted a few days earlier than usual, for a good reason. Tomorrow my family and I will be traveling to Aruba, part of the former Dutch Antilles or ABC islands, in the Caribbean for a 10 day holiday.

Therefor the November 2011 wallpaper is a photo I took a few years back on that same island. This photo was actually taken from our hotel balcony overlooking the Caribbean sea.

While we are away enjoying the sun, sand and sea, you can enjoy with us with this relaxing wallpaper on your desktop. Enjoy… WE will!

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!

Grisslehamn & Singö

Grisslehamn & Singö

by | Jul 7, 2011 | Photography

The June 2011 wallpaper was based on a photo I took end of May on the east coast of Sweden near the village of Grisslehamn. I promised in that post to show some more photos from that trip. Here they are.

The above text layered image is based on the photo below. This photo was taken at 11pm in the harbor of Grisslehamn. I had just returned from my evening tour at the coast.

The harbor was just 100m from my pension. The photo is built from 3 individual images, stitched together using Adobe Photoshop’s photo-merge to get a slight panorama effect.

Earlier during that evening I shot some seaside photos of the waterfront. The coastline is very rocky near Grisslehamn.

The next evening I went to the island of Singö, just north of Grisslehamn. This is the location where the June 2011 wallpaper was taken. The below photo is a wider framed photo of the same island, Svartklubben with the lighthouse, with a rock formation in the foreground.
