August 2011 Wallpaper

As you probably know most of the wallpapers come from my archives, although from time to time I do try to create something new for the upcoming month.  I had that in mind for a late July camping trip we made up near the Canadian border in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire.   I had several candidates in mind but this one sorta edged the others out…

In this particular case, the photograph was made on August 1st (well perhaps a few minutes before).   Unfortunately (?) I was well out of range of the internet so you had to wait until August 2nd to see it…  August’s image is the Milky Way setting over Lake Francis in northern New Hampshire.
