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
Somewhere in Oklahoma
This one I took during my trip from the East to the West Coast. Only four months after that trip I feel the urge to explore again. In less than two months I will be in Iceland.
Cross Country - Day 5 & 6
Better late than never, here is a little post about the past two days. I spent most of the fifth day in Oklahoma. I met real Oklahomans and got some advice on what to see there. The result is the picture below: the tall grass prairie. I enjoyed this a lot. Very large open space and not a single person anywhere. The only traces of civilization are roads (not many though) and fences. Here and there a barn and some cows, and that's it. Not that I haven't seen something like that before, but you can really drive there for hours and nothing changes. And that's basically what I did.
Late at night between day 5 and 6 I reached Texas and stayed in Amarillo. Before checking in to some roadside motel, I visited the Cadillac Ranch. This is another story and worth another post.
Day six I spent driving through New Mexico up to Santa Fe. My idea was to spend a white Christmas there.
The tall grass prairie of Oklahoma. What looks like a very short arm is just me being German and bending my elbow exact 90 degrees while using the remote control.
