Free Desktop Wallpaper for August 2013

Free Desktop Wallpaper

As a little bonus for my friends and followers every month I provide a free image for use as your desktop background wallpaper on your computer. Each beautiful photo is a picture that I have created and it always includes a calendar overlay for the month. I know that Iâ€™m always looking for a calendar and having one on my desktop is very convenient!

The Windiest Place on Earth

I don’t know if Pincher Creek is actually the windiest place on earth, but it is by far the windiest place that I’ve ever been. And it’s a perfect place to build wind mills to create electric power. There are wind mills and wind farms all over the region near Pincher Creek and they are a real sight to see…

The wallpaper image for this month is from a recent trip to Southern Alberta to see Pincher Creek and Waterton Lakes National Park. We had a fantastic visit and saw some beautiful landscapes and wildlife (waterfalls and bears were major highlights!!). Each evening I toured the farm fields surrounding Pincher Creek and enjoyed some amazing light over the many wind farms in the area. There are so many of them that it was really hard to take it all in. You can’t really understand the size or the scope of these things unless you see them in person.
