Monthly Calendar and Desktop Wallpaper November 2009

As usual, this is the time for our monthly calendar and desktop wallpaper rendez-vous. This one is taken only a few miles away from my house as I rushed to catch an amazing sunset. Well, I never made it in time, but the residual light was very interesting and I took the opportunity to shoot some longer exposures.

October 2009 Desktop Wallpaper and Calendar

As has now become a monthly little habit, here is October’s wallpaper. This image was taken in Banff in the Canadian Rockies on a quiet fall afternoon. I can still feel the cool breeze and peace on that evening. I hope you enjoy it.

September 2009 Desktop Wallpaper and Calendar

Well, summer (if we can call it that) is almost over and fall more or less slowly moving in. You’d think the post-summer blues would be about to hit, yet I have to say I feel more energised than I have all year. May be the fact that I am flying to Paris at the end of the week has something to do with it, can’t say it makes me sad to pay a visit to la Ville Lumiere. The fact is though, that really it’s a sign of great things to come. Fall in this corner of the planet is about as spectacular as it gets, with some of the most amazing colour displays I’ve ever seen. I am also going to be teaching a very neat workshop in October (ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT, so if you are interested it’s now or never! ) in the Calabogie and Gatineau areas, two full days of exciting colours, places and of course, photography! There are also a few things in the works that could lead to some great things, but more on that in due time…

In any case, to start you this month, here is the September wallpaper and calendar. Taken in one of my favorite architectural landmarks: Frank Gehry’s Experimental Music Project in Seattle.

Monthly Desktop Wallpaper – August 2009

This month’s wallpaper is from the sunny coast of California, yet again. This time, from Natural Bridge in Santa Cruz. This is a truly spectacular arch, made all more special by the fact you can just walk up to and under it as it pretty much IN Santa Cruz. A moderately slow shutter speed allowed me to freeze the streaks of foamy water without blurring them into oblivion…

Monthly Desktop Wallpaper – July 2009

As promised earlier this week, here is next month’s desktop wallpaper and calendar. For convenience’s sake, I included three different sizes for download.

This month’s image comes from the sunny and marvelous coast of California off the town of La Jolla. I was fortunate to have Jim Gekas show me around the place during my trip to the San Diego area. Jim was not only good sport so show me some of his favorite spots, but was also a great guy to hang out with. Fortunately, the skies did not let us down on this occasion despite the marine layer that hung around for  most of that afternoon. I hope you enjoy it.
