Another month draws to a close, and Christmas will be upon us before you can say "Where's the sellotape?", so it's time for another desktop wallpaper. 

I've a little competition running revolving around this photograph, but to be eligible and party to the competition details you need to be in my "Image of the Month" club. Sign up here - you've got to be in it to win it!

Usual instructions apply - click the link most appropriate for your monitor and select "open in new tab" or "open in new window". Then once the image has downloaded you can set it as your desktop background from there. Feel free to share around. If there's a size that you want (you've some funky Dell tablet or some such), or it looks a little stretched on your monitor, simply ping me a comment below and I'll fix one up for you.

If it's more than a desktop wallpaper that you're looking for, then you can purchase prints or a commercial license for this image here.

Finally before I sign off, I've put together some Christmas Card packages aimed at individuals or businesses. They can be branded to incorporate your own personal greeting and your company's details and logo. What's more, for every bundle sold £5 will be donated to the Manchester Christies Charity. Find out more here.

Enjoy.
