We just got back from a camping trip where we spent several days in a tent, surrounded by redwood trees. It’s easy to forget there’s a world outside our computer monitor sometimes, a world with only the noise of water dripping onto leaves and gentle breezes, a world that isn’t divided into pixels and margins. It’s important, sometimes, to take a step away from the blue haze of our monitors and step into the real world just to keep our own sanity.

Last month’s wallpaper(s) seemed to be a hit, so I decided to do another one in the same vein.  The zip file includes high quality widescreen, standard screen, iPhone and iPad wallpapers in the following resolutions:

Widescreen
1920×1200
1440×900
1280×800

Standard
1600×1200
1280×960
1152×864

iPad

I’ve been playing with various photographic effects and grunging them up for the new jazzsequence.com design, particularly the headers and post thumbnails.  So, it was with those techniques at my fingertips and on my mind that I approached these two wood textures from an upcoming texture pack to create this month’s wallpaper.  And since we were having so much fun, we created two wallpapers this month.

Each wallpaper comes in calendar, non-calendar, Twitter, iPad and iPhone variations in the following sizes:

Widescreen
1920×1200
1680×1050
1440×900

Standard
1600×1200
1280×960
1152×864

iPad
768×1024

iPhone
320×480

Twitter
1920×1200 (optimized to <800k)

Okay I admit it.  I have been reading too many steampunk novels recently because this is what spilled out of my subconcious when I sat down to create a new wallpaper.  Clockwork, ancient tomes filled with long lost technology, a mixture of organic and cybernetic.  What will society look like when we’re all dust?  What will be “new technology” when artifacts like the telephone and the laptop are preserved in ancient history museums, when our civilization is thousands of years gone?

Included in the zip file are wallpapers in widescreen and fullscreen format, as well as iPhone and iPad counterparts.  We’ve also added a Twitter background.  The following resolutions are included:

Widescreen
1920×1200
1440×900

Fullscreen
1600×1200
1200×800

iPad
