A panoramic photo of the Lamar street bridge in Austin, TX taken from the adjacent pedestrian bridge in early morning so the river and sky have a lovely bluish tone. The panoramic photo is particularly nice because I have two monitors at work and it’s the perfect size to cover both of them without much distortion. Anyway, most of my freetime is spent on the river and it’s nice to daydream about whn I’m working.
This picture of Saturn taken by Cassini on June 26, 2004.
Or I usually have a Van Gogh painting as my wallpaper.
My mistake! It was taken on May 15, 2004.
I had a picture of Frodo looking out over Imladris for months, but because of this thread I went back to the site where I got it, and now I have this its a picture of the fellowship… Im not sure if I like it so may change it again!
Right now on my new computer I have a screen shot from Ace Combat 5, it changes regularly, mainly because I cannot find one that I’m satisfyed with. Right now I’m browsing http://www.acecombat.jp/top.htm looking for a new one.
On my older computer, I had a painting of air combat from WWII (theme developing?), but now I have a silver corvette, I think it will stay a long time because I like it.
I have a slide show of family photos as the screen saver, one of TeenSthrnAccent airborn on the wakeboard is the wallpaper.
Home computer:
Windows: Picture of my SO, shirtless, making a big strong muscleman pose (Taken a few years back). Tiled.
Linux: My kitty-cat. We have a great picture of Bree which I placed as my desktop (sorry, no link)
Work: i have love for you from explodingdog.com
Laptop : i have love for you, if only i could reach them , i am not really stuck here, i just don’t realise it and when i am sad i eat a cookie , on each of the four desktops. The windows partition has the Bree picture again, but I never use windows on the laptop anyways.
I also like you’re too young to know. It might become a desktop somewhere!
At work and at home, a picture of my kids at the Minnesota Zoo.

I took it myself, and am rather proud of it. There are about 20 kids just out of frame on either side. There were just a few seconds where I could take this picture, and I got it just in time. It helps remind me to keep my desktop clear of crap so I can see the picture.
That’s a beautiful picture, Braniac4.
the now 18 Lindsay Lohan in all her glory.
But before you get all weirded out, keep in mind I’m only 20. So it’s legal.
Mac G4, home: Mithral Golum from the Epic Level Handbook. I alternate this with a picture of Ardred playing D&D by candlelight. Very neato.
P4 HP, home: World Of Warcraft thingy, alternates with a picture of our kitten, Jake.
98 Piece of Crapola, work: One of the pics of Saturn taken by Cassini.
Right now, a gorgeous underwater picture of Hawaiian fish.
I have a library of almost 300 images (mostly scenery) which I search through for a new background every so often. Check out deviantart.com for some really amazing stuff, particularly in the Photography–Nature–Waterscapes category. For example…
(Watch out, though, there are some work/child-inappropriate images.)
More specifically, Lion Hunter
