Phone: A picture of the No.1 Dale Street sign in Liverpool

iPad: A picture of a double decker bus driving by the Palace of Westminster.

Home laptop: A picture of Wrigley Field taken from behind home plate

My work laptop and work desktop are just the standard work background, I think we can change them but I haven’t bothered

Lotta cool images in this thread.

My Compy:

is the pic of the Andromeda galaxy in the sky if it was bright like the moon. A good reminder that humanity is probably not boned. (Hopefully.)

Canti from FLCL in his angel form. (Canti is on the right.)

PC, a laptop, 2 android phones and a tablet - nothing.

No wallpaper. I don’t see the point: it’s always covered by open windows.

My cell phone just has the default wallpaper, but I don’t use it very often.

The PC has a series of alternating photos(8 or 10), most of which I took myself while paddling my kayak. Among the best are a a flock of white ibis taking flight with the sun glowing through their wings, and a group of roseate spoonbills standing and dabbling their bills in the water and not caring that I was casting a lure from my ‘yak only 20’ from them.

The best of those that I didn’t take myself is from my SO’s dad who got a perfect pic of an osprey pulling a mullet out of the San Jacinto river with its talons(while I was obliviously fishing with my back to this action).

I think for the first time ever, I changed my phone’s wallpaper to a picture I took of some really beautiful mountain hydrangeas in Tokyo.
