This wallpaper is titled "The Island of Lost Hopes" by George Grie. I found it on Fantasy Art Design.

I really liked this one, and from the sounds in the description, the building was based on an actual piece of architecture. I know one thing, you can forget about pizza delivery if you lived here.

Sorry that I’m so late on this Wallpaper Tuesday, things have really been piling up, and then to make matters worse, I broke my Jeep and have been having lots of problems getting it squared away. Without any more delay…

For this week’s Wallpaper Tuesday I figured I should pick a local attraction. The picture to the left is of Bishop’s Castle, located near San Isabel and Rye Colorado. It’s my photo, so feel free to download it and use it for your wallpaper.

The castle’s construction was started in 1969, and has been built by one man.You can read more about the castle on it’s web site.

It’s really an impressive site, especially considering that one man has built it. The dragon head you see is actually a chimney, but has also been fitted with a propane torch so that it can breath fire. Visitors are allowed to climb around the castle, although those afraid of heights may want to stick to ground level.

If you’re in the area, it’s worth the stop, and you won’t complain about the free admission.

I was feeling a little nostalgic today, so I started looking around for some pictures of some of my favorite places. I ran across this picture, which is of Pyramid Rock beach in Kaneohe, it’s on the Marine Corps base, and you can see a couple of the radar balls in the back ground.

I used to love to go hit this beach for boogie boarding. Lots of times I would get a couple of hours in during the wee hours of the morning before I had to go to work. My friend Bob would always try to get me to laugh right before the waves crashed down on me, so I wouldn’t have any air when it did. I can still feel the salt burning my sinuses.

Of course, this shot is taken from the water, and Pyramid Rock is directly behind the photographer. Thanks to HawaiianBeach for making the photo available on Flickr.

Unless of course, you’re one of the final five.

If you listen to the Two Guys Tech podcast, then you know that one of the only shows I watch is BattleStar Galactica. Of course, I was surprised to see that we can look forward to a fourth and final season next year.

Having BattleStar on the brain, I decided to go with a BattleStar Wallpaper for this Week’s installment of Wallpaper Tuesday.

Clicking on the image will bring open up the full sized image, but you can also find it on the Downloads Section at SciFi Channel’s BattleStar Page. (It’s on the bottom right).

Taking a peek at my latest Wallpaper selections, I realized that I haven’t done any selections from games in awhile. So this weeks selection is a newly released wallpaper of Tristam.

You may remember Tristam as the poor village from Diablo which was besieged by the forces of evil. Tristam also made a brief appearance in Diablo 2, and I’m assuming we’re going to see it again in Diablo 3.

Of course, I can’t wait for the release of Diablo 3, so this wallpaper will have to do for now.

To get the image for yourself, go to the Diablo 3 Wallpapers page, and Tristam is on the bottom left.

Enjoy!
