So which wallpapers have we received for September?

Places in London

?All of the wallpapers are with the theme of various places in the city of London. These photos were taken as a part of a project for a friend studying architecture and they turned out so well that I decided to make them as wallpapers. You can also see a few more London Wallpapers which I posted on my blog.? Designed by Kishor Krishnamoorthi from Hyderabad, India / University of Essex, UK.
