After close to a year of offering the monthly desktop calendar and wallpaper, I have opted for a slight format change. I figure that a calendar has limited appeal in that it puts a cap on how long you can use the wallpaper. As such, I have decided to drop the “calendar” portion and simply offer a desktop wallpaper that you can download and use at anytime, independently of when I post it on the blog. As usual, the image is offered in 3 sizes to try and accommodate most users.

This image comes from the Oulilimt valley in the heart of the Moroccan High Atlas (it’s about a 3 day walk from anywhere). As the valley narrows to its end, it gathers into a beautiful, red-walled gorge surrounded by odd-shaped hoodoos. As I was shooting sunset in the middle of the gorge, I was drawn by these shapes and the beautifully lit clouds overhead. I went for a simple silhouette that leaves all the focus on the shapes and colours. As usual, to download it you simply have to click on one of the links below, right-click on the image and choose “use as desktop wallpaper”.
