Here is the wallpaper for January 2010. It was shot along the roadside in rural Laos between the capital Vientiane and popular backpacker hangout Vang Vieng. Laos was once known as the Land of a Million Elephants. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and hunting, the wild elephant population in Laos is now estimated at less than 1200 animals, with a similar number of domesticated elephants in the country. Domesticated elephants are used for logging, land clearance (ironically), agriculture, transportation and tourism. You can find more about elephants in Laos and what is being done to remedy the situation at eleaid.com , an organisation that is involved in Asian elephant conservation in Laos.
As usual, the wallpaper is available in a few different sizes:
January Wallpaper: 1280 x 800 (or click on the image above)
January Wallpaper: 1440 x 900
January Wallpaper: 1920 x 1200
Wishing you all the best for a fantastic year ahead. I know I’m excited about this years opportunities!
More to come …
