When I was watching Peter Jackson's new movie, "The lovely bones", I got inspired by one of the many fantastic scenes in it. The wallpaper I created is based on this scene.

Oh, and yes, this is a digital composition! It's fake! Not real!

Adobe Photoshop CS4, the sky is from my "Driftwood" series, and the tree from "Cosmosition".

Maligne Lake is a lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is approximately 22.5 km (14 mi) long and 97 m (318 ft) at its deepest point. The name Maligne is French for "wicked" and was used by Father Pierre-Jean De Smet (1801-1873) to describe the treacherous river that flows from the lake. The name soon spread to the lake, canyon, pass, mountain and range.

The lower falls at Yellowstone National Park are 308 feet (94 meters) high, or almost twice as high as Niagara. They descend from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow and are the largest volume major waterfall in the Rocky Mountains.

I took this photo in August 2009 during my road trip through Montana and Alberta.

Reconditioned version of the original "Spectrum of a Tree". Now at a higher resolution with two new color panels, reduced noise, and improved sharpness.

The tree has the following coordinates: 43°36'40.49"N - 6°59'45.07"E. Enjoy!

I took this picture during a flight from the South of France while we crossed the Swiss Alps. This time, only small Photoshop tweaks have been done, mainly to get rid of the reflections of the window.

I hope you enjoy this wallpaper! May it enlighten your desktop and brighten up your day!

When night is almost done and sunrise grows so near, light softly touches the tips of trees and lets us now it's here.

As the days are getting shorter and the wind is howling in your ears, you probably noticed that autumn is not far ahead. Therefore, it's a good thing to have a place called home!

Since Barack Obama and his family visited Yellowstone National Park as well, there was just a little too much Secret Service for me and my camera. ;-) So, I decided to continue my photo safari trip to Banff National Park, where I encountered this beautiful, emerald colored lake. Technique: HDRI made using 3 of the 7 exposures (Smart object method) and then processed in PS with Nik Color Efex and curves.
