My current wall paper is: [This Tree in Winter](http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?image=windbuchencomlarge2rr.jpg) I only got that recently, and had this previously: [Ice Block](http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/7095/iceblocknearjoekullsarlonlarge.jpg) What is yours? I recommend [Image Shack](http://imageshack.us/) for free and easy picture uploading. ---

I’ve been using [Second Nature](http://www.secondnaturecd.com/2nd/upsam.html) for most of the years that I’ve had a PC. It allows any number of images to cycle through as screen savers with the option that the most recent one becomes the wallpaper du jour. I must have about 30 images in the list these days. At one time it was over 100. The link is the latest version and I haven’t updated mine in over a year, so maybe I should get the latest. ---

Mine for the past week has been one of Stephen Davison’s excellent [Isle of Man photos.](http://www.iomtt.com/MediaAssets/001380.jpg) Before that, it was this [British Airways 747](http://www.airliners.net/open.file/979746/L/) shot from [Airliners.net](http://Airliners.net). ---
