Big Blue

Ah, summertime... Maybe for you that means lazy days on the beach, or ice tea on the front porch. But for me summer means long walks through San Francisco's Golden Gate Park as the fog rolls by. Our famous fog muffles the city noise, letting bird calls from visiting songbirds take front stage. English film student Thom Gavin's "Big Blue" wallpaper conjures up summer for me, with its elegant bird graphic silhouetted against a field of blue.

If you like "Big Blue," you'll probably enjoy the other wallpapers showcased on Simple Desktops, a site devoted to simple but well-crafted wallpapers by Thom Gavin and other designers.
