WāllStōries - Mūrima #001
Every wall has a story and now, so will your screen. I am starting a new segment on the blog called WāllStōries, I believe a wallpaper is more than just a background, it’s a mood, a memory, a window into new worlds. Each week, I will share a fresh handpicked wallpaper, along with the story behind the shot, a little spark of inspiration, and a tip to help you see life through a more creative lens.
Think of it as a small weekly gift for your screen and your soul, something to brighten your workdays, refresh your devices, and maybe even spark your next adventure.
So, whether you’re opening your laptop for work, unlocking your phone on the go, or just taking a moment to pause, WāllStōries will be here to bring beauty, warmth, and creativity right to your fingertips.
To kick it off, I wanna start with our beautiful mountain, Mt. Kenya (Africa's second highest mountain) aka Murima bathed in the first soft light of dawn.. I was in Nanyuki on an assignment and looking at the weather, I definitely had no hopes of capturing this mountain. Its craggy peaks pierced the sky, and the air felt alive with quiet reverence. This mountain has long been sacred: a throne for God in Kikuyu lore and a symbol of strength to communities nearby.
Mount Kenya is Africa’s second-highest mountain, soaring to 5,199 meters with its iconic twin peaks Batian and Nelion. For most adventurers, the highlight is reaching Point Lenana (4,985 m), a summit that rewards with breathtaking sunrise views. Once a towering volcano over 6,500 m, glaciers have carved it into the striking landscape we see today. Mount Kenya is a journey through changing worlds majestic, wild, and unforgettable.

Creative Tip of the Week
When you shoot landscapes, try capturing early morning light after a chilly night. The air is clear, contrast is crisp, and frost altered patterns (like those on alpine slopes) can add a layer of subtle texture and story to your images.
May this Mount Kenya wallpaper bring a moment of stillness, wonder, and elevation to your daily scroll.
