I have lots of wallpapers from cartoons to photos to fine art. But here’s one I just scanned. It’s a vintage ad. [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/3156/2664646521_90f7c44e17_b.jpg "frog in your throat cough lozenges vintage ad") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/99115850@N00/2664646521/) I think it’s really stunning as full-screen wallpaper. ---

Mine is a boggy sort of place in Ireland, with a house. Nice and cool looking for a hot summer. ---

No wall paper. Jeez, PCs curl up and die often enough without asking for trouble. Besides, some software behaves stupidly when there are lots of .scr files around, as they think they are something else (“source” files, or something). ---

Mine is all my own work 😃 I got a 3d app. I made a box, made it green, made a kettle (pre-built, so I guess it isn’t all my own work) made it glass. Rendered. Zoomed in on the spout. So the green box fills the entire background. Rendered. Thought “Hey that looks quite cool” Rendered at 1920x1200. It is now my dekstop My work one is a wide shot of Monte Carlo at dusk. ---
