The March 2012 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. The Bear Mountain Bridge was opened in 1924, and at the time was the longest suspension bridge in the world (record held for 19 months) and was the first automobile bridge to cross the Hudson south of Albany. It sits at the southern entrance to the Hudson Highlands (40 miles north of NYC), and is surrounded by great hiking trails with fantastic views.

The September 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. On my recent trip to Nova Scotia, I visited Kejimkujik National Park with the specific intent of visiting a section containing an old growth forest. I love these types of places, especially since they are so rare in North America.
