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, mobile phone, or tablet. Each beautiful photo is a picture that I have created and it always includes a calendar overlay for the month. I know that I’m always looking for a calendar and having one on my desktop or phone wallpaper is very convenient!

This month’s calendar image features a beautiful sunrise as seen from Steptoe Butte State Park in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington State in the Northern United States. The Palouse is a rural farming area that is famous (at least among photographers) for its beautiful rolling hills and scenic crop fields that are often planted in interesting patterns. The area has plenty of rustic old barns and farms, windmills, and amazing skies. People travel from all over the world to see the Palouse at sunrise or sunset from Steptoe Butte which is much higher than the surrounding region. The butte provides almost aerial views of the region which highlights the spectacular patterns in the fields and the undulating hills.
