This one is from New York.

If you like pictures like these you probably also like the paintings of Kim Cogan. Here is a sample. I came across his amazing work on Pinterest and became a fan right away. Here is a board I made.

Today is the 6th anniversary of this photo blog! Wow..time flies! If you are curious about the early days, I wrote a little about it in last year’s post.

I was wondering what I could prepare in the spirit of the celebrations, and came up with the idea of free iPads for all my readers!! Then I changed my mind and decided to give away free iPad wallpapers instead…how about that?

Here they are. Optimized for the 3rd gen iPad we are looking at pictures from

- White Sands, New Mexico
- The Tall Grass Prairie, Oklahoma
- Blankenberge, Belgium
- Iceland – god knows where exactly that was..
- New York City (twice)
- Frankfurt, Germany
- And the last three are from Southern California

A picture I took in New York City last year. It's part of a series that I haven't finished yet.

New York City, 2010

Taken in December in 2010.

Happy Holidays and stay warm!

For the unlikely event that you are looking for some last minute Halloween photo tips, here is a helpful article. I wrote it last year and I think it’s still valid.

From last winter when I was stuck in New York City because of a snow storm. My friends left me the keys to their apartment so I spent the time walking through the snow. I think the empty villages were the most fun part. Some of the little pubs and restaurants were open and it was just super nice sitting in there while the snow was blowing by outside the window. Funny, just a week before I was laying on the beach in San Diego. Anyway I added this image to the gallery in case you want it.

I know some of you would love to see some more colorful images here. I’m posting all the colours in form of music today.
