Open a new document and the size is set to landscape A4 size. Place a Stonehenge image is as the background image. Double click the image to unlock it. Then adjusted the size using free transforms or T+ctrl. Next, add layer mask on the Stonehenge. Use quick selection tool and polygonal tool to select the unwanted part, then click backspace to erases it.



Duplicate Stonehenge image (ctrl+J), fill it with black color, and then convert into smart object. A shadow of the Stonehenge was form.
Add a skull image and duplicate (ctrl+J) the image. Use ctrl+T to transform the image size.
To create the skull shadow, duplicate the skull image and fill it with black color.
Add some tree by using the tree brush that I downloaded.
Later, I found out the sky is not suitable for the theme of the calendar, so I change it to another sky image. Use arrange document to make 2 up tab, click and hold on with the new sky, the carry it to the Stonehenge image.

Arrange the new sky image level below Stonehenge image level. Adjusted the brightness/contrast level.

Duplicate the floor level, and use polygonal tool to select the unwanted part after add layer mask. Click backspace to delete the selection.

Make a rectangular shape fill with black color as the cracking hole. Then remove the floor 2 image to left hand side. A crack floor was form.

Add some bush that I had download to form image of the thunder and the cracking effect on the Stonehenge and floor.
