The May 2014 wallpaper was taken in Yngsjö in Skåne, the most southern province of Sweden. Yngsjö is nowadays most famous for it’s white beaches.
This small village at the coast of the Baltic sea with just over 300 inhabitants, however, was once famous for what has become known as “The Yngsjö murder”. In 1889 a young woman was murdered by her husband and his mother. Both perpetrators of the crime were sentenced to death and the mother became the last woman in Sweden to be executed.

Finally the spring has come after a long, cold and snowy winter which has been sweeping over Europe. Temperatures are increasing as the sun gets warmer and early spring flowers start blooming.
Now it is time for a delicious wallpaper with spring fruit served on a pile of pancakes, a background for your desktop that makes you want to grab the fork and dig in. Bon appétit!

“Birds over Lake Pichola“
To honor the spring with its burst of new life I have chosen a vivid, colorful and burning wallpaper for the month of May.
My photo “Birds over Lake Pichola” is the base of this wallpaper. It has become one of my favorite images from Udaipur in India, capturing Lake Pichola in a serene silence combined with high-flying livelihood as a symbol of the spiritual atmosphere of this wonderful Rajasthani town.
The original photo has been edited with the onOne Software plug-in, Perfect Photo Suite 6, for Adobe Photoshop.

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.
