The Second Day of Christmas is a bit of a religious mash-up, but bear with us. We had the chance to do some shooting in Thailand earlier this year, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit Bangkok’s famous Reclining Buddha. This golden Buddha is depicted laying on his side and is HUGE, sitting nearly 50 feet high over 140 feet long. Since it’s quite a challenge to photograph the Reclining Buddha all at once, we took a few close-ups and ended up with one of our favorite photo textures of the year.

So for the Second Day of Christmas, we wanted to share that cool texture as a desktop background with all of you. We love the multiple layers and colors of gold spanning over 200 years of painting and repairs, and the simplicity of the image makes it ideal for a subtle desktop wallpaper. We hope you like this as much as we do, and we’ll see you all tomorrow for Day Three of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway.
