Just curious, what wallpaper do you use?

As you guys will notice, I am a big sports fan! Pittsburgh Penguins are my #1 sportsteam.

I did not make this, but I did take out the annoying looking lettering and this is what I use:

I mostly download wallpapers though, do not make them myself. I will find one I that I just HAVE to download every now and then.

2 of those wallpapers were taken by me on a trip a month ago or so. I downloaded the golden gate one somewhere. I didn't realize that's what your avatar is. Look up Aladar - he has a smiley face. He said he made it in gimp.

I change my wallpaper pretty often. Presently I've loaded the twin searchlights from NYC. I change it around almost weekly. The Golden Gate Bridge is common and sunset scenes are taken from many locations. I find a lot of photos on DIGG that you can't find otherplaces.

Great picture mjd.

This picture I took from the 300 level.
Carlos Ruiz is warming up with Cole Hamels.

The ball just popped his glove.

On my monitor this looks bright and awesome.

Go Phils!

I just came across this: http://windows.micro...ktop-background
I didn't even know Microsoft had such a site!

Many nice ones in there Brian.

Some of these should had come with windows instead of many that do.
I'll download some for future rotation.

THX for the link.

I wonder when they put those up. They sure are cooler than the ones that came with windows. And definitely better than the 800x600 ones XP shipped with. (why?????? At least w7 has them at 1920x1200) Oh btw you can change your login wallpaper. http://www.blogsdna....-officially.htm
Note: use something like pic manager to resize it to exactly your screen res, crop it however needed, and then something like paint.net to reduce the file size to under 256KB (or else it doesn't work). In my experience it seems it has to be 248KB or lower - it didn't like a 252KB image.

well...

All shared desktop wallpapers are very nice...
I like to put some natural and floral wallpapers on my desktop..

I prefer Seascapes or maybe something of a SCI-Fi nature.

I change them from time to time, and now I have this one. It's Szczecin son-et-lumiere fountains at the Teatralny Sq., and the building is The Pleciuga theater.  DSC00371.JPG (198.95K)

PS Last week I saw Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris and it was great. Like, no shrink hardcore at all, actors did fine and Carla Bruni was OK. And lots of Paris! My mom liked it, too.

That is a nice picture. Love the Fountain(s). Too bad they'll freeze in the Winter.

Nice one! Look at the link I posted above to the microsoft site, there's a picture of a tiger in mid-air. I wonder how they did that.

Don't worry, with it gone they'll return with the new programme (new music set). But first they're gonna be off for the winter, that's the normal procedure.

It's probably a collage and they may have used a tame tiger. They often do e.g. in the nature films. And maybe the tiger's picture was taken in a circus? It seems so.
