Welcome to September!
Before we get going with this month’s free wallpaper downloads, a big thanks to Brendon Cremer for his guest post yesterday. I am sure you will agree – that is about as good a leopard photography gets! Truly spectacular photographs! Thanks for sharing! Make sure to go and check out Brendon’s site for to view more of his work.
Next week Thursday we do it all again as another amazing photography shares their work with us in guest post Thursday!
Right, it might be a few days late but here goes with this month’s free wallpaper downloads.
This month features a golden lioness, an elephant eye, an abstract shadow and a pair of hippo. All of these subjects have been photographed in the wild. No cages. No zoos. This is real wildlife photography. You can download the images in two sizes. The large version of each image is sized to 2560 x 1600 and the smaller version 1280 x 800.
Hope you enjoy!
September 2010 – Wallpaper #1
I photographed this lioness a few mornings as she paused for a second to let the rest of the pride pass her by. To me this image is all about light, golden morning light. The out of focus lion in the background also gives it more ‘interest’ than if she was all on her own. To download the large version simply click on the image or click here for the small version.

September 2010 – Wallpaper #2
I featured this image on the blog a few days ago in a post called ‘Why Do It?‘. Nothing more to say really. If you are happy for an elephant to keep an eye on you all month long this one’s for you. To download the large version simply click on the image or click here for the small version.

September 2010 – Wallpaper #3
Something different and more abstract. This image shows the abstract shadow of a dead leadwood tree in the rippling water of a dam in Madikwe. Did not see much game that day but if you look around there are always images around. To download the large version simply click on the image or click here for the small version.

September 2010 – Wallpaper #4
This image, by Kerry de Bruyn, shows two hippo in the water. No doubt about the subject in this one. Nice clean background and the eye contact makes it work. To download the large version simply click on the image or click here for the small version.

Please feel free to share these images with your friends and family and take a moment to let me know which one is your favorite!
It is amazing how much has happened the last few weeks and there is a whole lot more to come. 2011 is gonna be a big one!
Oh yeah, might have an exciting announcement towards the end of next week so make sure to pop in. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while but more details later. All I will say at this stage is photography meets conservation!
Have a great weekend. See you on the flip side!

Thanks for these, Gerry. I use your wallpapers exclusively now and look forward the the start of each month. I’m using the lion this month, it’s awesome and I like the calendar on the bottom.
Only a pleasure!! Thanks!!
