New Wallpaper for your Windows Vista Desktop: Made by me!

For the last week, I had been using one of the photos I took on my recent trip around Washington State as my desktop wallpaper. It was an image I took in the Columbia River Gorge near an abandoned railroad track. I got down really close to the railroad track for a really interesting shot. I think it looks really neat as a desktop wallpaper so I thought I'd create a range of different sizes of the image to share with you - the readers of the Windows Vista Team Blog - to use as your desktop wallpaper on your PC.

I've created a range of sizes of the wallpaper for you to download depending on your display resolution via Windows Live SkyDrive:

The shot was taken using the Certified for Windows Vista DSLR Canon Digital Rebel XTi.

Let me know what you think!

    You won't find abandoned railways here in Britain. The tracks here have a third bar, but the train doesn't drive on it. The bar has electricity running through it, and that's where the train gets its power from.

    It's a VERY nice shot, but I'm going to stick with the one I got from NASA.

    windows vista ultimate user254, this wallpaper was created by *me* on my own time for Windows Vista and is not associated with anything regarding Windows Vista Ultimate specifically or as a Ultimate Extra. It simply is a cool wallpaper I created for the readers of our blog that I wanted to share. Please don't confuse this wallpaper with anything having to do with Ultimate Extras.

    To reiterate: this wallpaper is not suppose to be any sort of Ultimate Extra. It was shot by created for you. The wallpaper looks great on any version of Windows Vista :-)

    So please enjoy the wallpaper :-)
