Select On My Mac at the upper left.
Even when I do this, it still loads this splash screen.
Interesting, never noticed it before. It appears that if you have Documents and Data turned on in the iCloud settings in System Preferences you will get this screen.
If you don;t want it it seems the only way to get rid of it is to turn off the iCloud Documents and Data setting.
