Ian Shive: Rugged California

Ian Shive: Rugged California

By Ian Shive

Despite being famous around the world for the glamour of Hollywood and technology of Silicon Valley, California also has some of the wildest, most beautiful and rugged places in America. Coastal old-growth forests are covered in moss and orchids, creating a fairy tale landscape, while gnarled oak trees reach for the sky through mist and fog. Ian Shive is a Los Angeles based conservation photographer and author of The National Parks: Our American Landscape. www.WaterandSky.com

The new Google themes for the "new look" has a seperate file of images you can use to customize your iGoogle page. In it is Ian Shive Rugged California, only this newer one looks very much like the hills on the south side of Cuesta Grade in San Luis Obispo county. If you select the "new" image of the same name, it will appear as wallpaper on your iGoogle page, but only as long as you don't leave the page by doing a search or otherwise leave. When you return, the image above will appear in it's place. I am hoping a google mod will see this and inform the right people to rename the new theme.

This is a beautiful theme, and reminds me every day of why I love California. I also would agree with Ariana Song, that it would be really cool to know the locations of these pictures.
