Free August Desktop Calendar

I'm a little late with this calendar, but here's August! It's a photo from behind the large fountain at Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna Austria. You can see the palace just under the horse. I love how the sea horses feet are flippers; gives you a new perspective of what that mystical creature would look like. (If it were mystical of course, and if it were more of a horse that they are.)

Just click on the picture. When it comes up in its own browser window, right click and save the picture somewhere on your computer. Then go to that location, right click on the picture, and set as desktop background. Voila, you have a photo calendar on your computer!


Please leave a comment if you use it, I like to keep track. Thanks!

Visit to Vienna

Vienna is a nice city, a tad dirty, but it has charm. We went for three days and I was extremely excited to see the Lipizzaner horses. But they forbid photos and video anywhere inside the Spanish Riding School or Spanische Reitschule. We also saw one of the palace's Marie Antoinette grew up in, Schoenbrunn, and Mozart's house. The Haus der Musik, museum of music, was absolutely outstanding. Very interactive and educational as well as just plain fun. Three days was a little long. We could have visited more palaces or museums but we spent the last day in the park just relaxing.
