September’s wallpaper is from Wat Sissaket (Sissaket Temple), one of the oldest temples in Vientiane, Laos. This is the same temple that June’s wallpaper came from. The image is of one of the many Buddha statues that line the alcoves of the temple courtyard. Laos is primarily a Buddhist nation, with 67% of the Lao population identifying themselves as Buddhist. In practice, Lao Buddhism consists of a mix of Buddhist and Animist beliefs and ceremonies.

The wallpaper is available in two sizes:

September Wallpaper 1440 x 900 (or click on the image above)
September Wallpaper 2560 x 1600

“…and it came to pass that they made a green as green as grass. Green as green leaves on a tree, green as islands in the sea.” (Extra points if you recognize the reference)

Today’s wallpapers are brought to you by the colour green.

That’s right folks, I’m feeling so generous, I’m offering two wallpapers for your viewing pleasure this month. The first was made early one morning at the flower market in Bangkok and the other on a side street in Vientiane, Laos.

Part of the reason you’re getting two is the that the focus on the woman in the first image is quite soft. But I like it anyway, so I’m posting it here. If it bugs you, then hey, you’ve got another choice Enjoy!

June’s wallpaper was taken in Wat Sissaket (Sissaket Temple), one of the oldest temples in Vientiane, on my recent visit to Laos. It was great being back in Laos after two years, though as expected, things had changed a little. I was able to observe our Metamorphic training program in full and catch up with some old friends.

Back to the Wallpaper! The image is a hand of one of the many Buddha statues that line the alcoves of the temple courtyard. The brilliant colours are from the robe draped over the Buddha.

I realize this is extremely overdue, but here’s the wallpaper for May. I’ve been in Cambodia and Laos for Metamorphic programs and just haven’t had the time to really maintain an online presence lately. It’s been both exhausting and absolutely brilliant at the same time. After a month away, I’m more than ready to head home and see my family. I’m in Bangkok today and tomorrow before catching the midnight Thai flight to Brisbane tomorrow night.

This shot was taken in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. A big thankyou goes out to photojournalist Jack Kurtz, who kindly lent me a lens after one of mine died while photographing the red shirts a month ago.

You know the drill. Various sizes available below.
