My first actual try at making a "submission worthy" wallpaper. I used Photoshop CS3 to make it....and of course, on a Mac.

What a wonderful blue sky. The field gives us the feeling of beeing free. Running through the field feeling nature. Shot some days ago in Rügen, Germany.

I know this won't appeal to the masses - it's not your typical wallpaper. But someone did comment in one of my previous submissions that I should also take photos of 'less pretty' things. How about some ugly railway tracks?

Created with Vue 7 Infinite, thanks...

Fingers frozen, definitely got a cold but it was worth waiting! Early November, from the top of Rockefeller Center's terrace in New York City.

An exhaust cloud engulfs Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida as space shuttle Endeavour lifts off into the night sky.

Launch of the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station was at 4:14 a.m. EST. This was the second launch attempt for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-130 crew and the final scheduled space shuttle night launch. The first attempt on February 7, 2010 was scrubbed due to unfavorable weather.

The primary payload for the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station is the Tranquility node, a pressurized module that will provide additional room for crew members and many of the station's life support and environmental control systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is a cupola, a unique work area with six windows on its sides and one on top. The cupola resembles a circular bay window and will provide a vastly improved view of the station's exterior. The multi-directional view will allow the crew to monitor spacewalks and docking operations, as well as provide a spectacular view of Earth and other celestial objects. The module was built in Turin, Italy, by Thales Alenia Space for the European Space Agency.

I like the view with this romantic cottage in front of the landscape, illuminated from the evening Sun. Magdalensberg, Carinthia, Austria. Copyright © 2010 by Martin Aglas.
