July’s desktop comes from a six hour day hike I took near the southern tip of the south island in New Zealand. It was a super rewarding day photographically and emotionally. So great to just get out and hike completely alone for hours. I ended up hiking around the hill you see on the left, and up around the top ridge where there were alpine lakes and waterfalls. More images from this day following shortly…
Enjoy!

June’s desktop comes from my last night in New Zealand, staying in Rotorua on the North Island. Earlier in the trip, I learned how to locate the southern celestial pole… the point which all of the stars appear to rotate around when as the earth rotates (seen in the bottom of the image.) The different colors seen in the stars is caused by the different temperatures & intensities that each of the stars burn. This is a 4886 second exposure, about 81 minutes. Enjoy!
Enjoy!

May’s desktop is here!
This one is from Mt. Cook National Park in south New Zealand. At 12,300 ft, Mt. Cook is the tallest mountain in New Zealand. I was driving out to the mount very early in the morning and shot this 4 second exposure handheld, a good half hour before the sun actually came up.
Enjoy!

Here’s January desktop (this one actually is only slightly late!)
It’s from a few nights ago from my apartment in Dallas. The sky this time of year is incredible, night after night.
Creation cries out His Glory.

Here’s December desktop (slightly extremely late)
it takes me awhile to settle on an image that I think can work well as a desktop. This one comes from Ghana when I was there with Videre.
We were in Cape Coast, and this frame was shot from a castle right on the water. Enjoy!

Sorry to all for getting this out so late… I’ve been in Africa and really on the run for over a month… mostly with very limited internet connectivity. This month’s desktop comes from Marsabit, Kenya. A couple days ago we were sitting on the back patio of the lodge, watching the elephants below this tree…While we were relaxing after our day of woodwalking, I exposed this frame over a period of about half an hour (these are the trails left in the sky by the stars, as the earth rotates.) Enjoy!
