Wow… another month has passed and it is already the 1st of June, so I owe you a new wallpaper. Here it is!
Last week I spent a few days on the east-coast of Sweden, 150km north of Stockholm. I visited the fishing village Grisslehamn and the neighboring island Singö.
In front of Singö lies the small island Svartklubben (The Black Club) with on it a lighthouse surrounded by typical Swedish wooden red houses. It can be photographed well from Singö with a telelens.
The coming weeks I will post some more images from the trip to Grisslehamn and Singö.

As I am still spending time in the Netherlands I have the opportunity to celebrate Queen’s Day here today. Queen’s Day celebrates the birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands and is supposed to be a day of national unity and “togetherness”. Originally it was Queen Juliana (the mother of our current Queen Beatrix) who had birthday on 30 April. Although Queen Beatrix’s birthday is on 31 January, she officially celebrates her birthday on 30 April. On this day the Royal Family is touring through the country and visiting one or two villages to celebrate. Today they visit the villages Weert and Thorn in the most southern province of the Netherlands, Limburg.
Usually the weather is good on this day. The spring is in full swing and everything is growing and blooming with fresh colors and beautiful smells. Therefore the May 2011 wallpaper is from a photo I took earlier in the week in the eastern part of the Netherlands and shows fresh green leaves still wet from an early morning spring shower.

Today it is the 1st of March already, thus time to post the new free calendar wallpaper for this month.
The chosen photo was taken during the last February storm on the west coast of the Netherlands, near the village of Petten. It was hard to walk on a straight line due to the enormous winds, but some people took the challenge and walked along the coastline to get some fresh air.

Although it is the first of the month there is no monthly calendar wallpaper from my side yet.
Due to some technical problems with my Apple Mac Pro I have temporarily no access to my post-processed images and calendar tools. I hope to post a wallpaper later this week, alternatively I might skip a month. It seems still unclear when my Mac Pro will be returned to me, but later more on that topic in a separate post when I will share my Apple Customer Care experiences with you.
One point that I have already learned from my recent technical problems is to expand my back-up to external devices. Although I am using Apple’s Time Machine to back-up all files on my main hard-disk, the back-up is placed on the secondary hard-disk within the Mac Pro. With the main machine gone there is no access to either the original or the back-up… 🙁
