The July 2010 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. Whenever I venture out along the shores of the Hudson River, I never know what I’ll discover but I have yet to be disappointed regardless of the time or weather. There’s always something unexpected waiting to be experienced, and here is one of those moments I remember quite well.

As always, thanks for your support and come closer to nature in the Hudson Valley.

The June 2010 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. Camping on the shore of Lake Kushaqua a few summers ago, I woke up one morning to experience an amazing start to a summer day, and spent the rest of the morning canoeing on this beautiful lake in the northern Adirondacks.

The May 2010 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. The Mohonk Preserve is a fantastic place that I never get tired of visiting or photographing. This scene is on the Peters Kill Trail on the way to Lost City, and these backlit trees were the perfect complement to the sound of a running stream nearby on a crisp spring day.

The April 2010 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. One of my favorite places to photograph, and only 2 miles from my home, Storm King Mountain is both dramatic and historic. It is here where the modern environmental movement was started, and Scenic Hudson began its mission to preserve the natural resources of the Hudson Valley for future generations to enjoy.

The March 2010 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. This image was made a few years ago while on a hike in the Highfalls Gorge area of the Adirondacks immediately following a light rainfall. Something magical happens in the forest when it rains, and I found the scene and feel both meditative and calming.

Today I am releasing my first collection of free iPhone Wallpapers of the Hudson Valley. This collection contains 15 of my favorite landscapes from my “backyard”, and the download includes instructions for installation.

I’ve benefited and learned so much from everyone who reads the Beyond the Lens blog, as well as followers on Twitter and friends and fans on FaceBook. I’ve met great friends and supporters along the way, and this seemed like a way for me to share some of my love of the Hudson Valley with all of you. Please keep in mind that these files will work with other mobile devices like the Droid and Blackberry, but they have been formatted specifically for the iPhone. If you don’t have an iPhone, give them a try on your mobile device, they should work just fine.

>Download HV iPhone Wallpapers

Any comments or suggestions please let me know, and enjoy this new collection of wallpapers. Look out for the February desktop wallpaper coming in a few days.
