I’m sure this has been asked, but I can’t find a link to it, so here goes. What’s the wallpaper on your computer right now? I just changed mine yesterday. It was a close up black-and-white picture of Drew Barrymore. Now it’s the girl who plays Buffy (Sarah something) astride a motorcycle.
I took a kickass picture of the USMC Iwo Jima Memorial down in Washington DC a few weeks back. It’s pretty cool, and that’s what I got.

Coincidentally, I just got a wedding invitation with “United States Marines” on it. Wierd. . .
I have a picture of my new house from an aerial view from GlobeXplorer.
I’m using the Anachronistic one. It’s titled something like that. Except it’s dang difficult to have transparent titles with it.
Superdude- It’s Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Reason I know this? I have an Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) theme on one 'puter at work and the one at home (other work puter has just a pic of Giles sitting in a chair surrounded by books). Comes with sounds, screensaver, and wallpaper (which is a collage of Giles/ASH pics). Yummmmmmmy. 
But the critical stop comment- “That would be most helpful”- is starting to annoy the beejesus out of Mr. Kitty.

I just got rid of the “Lord of the Rings” teaser poster (Frodo and the ring) in favor of yet another Neil Finn photo. (Neil Finn was the singer/songwriter for Crowded House.) He’s standing on stage with his guitar, neato lights everywhere. He’s ever so dreamy.
I just had the standard wallpaper from the Mystery theme for a long time. A couple of weeks ago someone linked to a picture for the new Enterprise, so now that’s my wallpaper.
Some Nebula i picked up off some astronmy website. I lost my old background (from weekly world news) when they reformatted my work comp after i caught someone remotely breaking into it.
A Delorean:D Here is a link:

Yes we did this but it was way back when the [img] tag was still legal. The thread eventually got so image-heavy that the thread took upwards of twelve days* to fully load.
Anywho, here is my wallpaper. resized to 1280×1024, it looks very impressive on a 27" monitor.

A friend of mine was going through a rough time, so I sent him a care package containing, among other things, a cloth NASA astronaut helmet, complete with the logo and a little microphone that goes in front of the wearer’s mouth. I got it at Imaginarium, the toy store. The rest of the package commemorated MIR, since this was shortly after that most leaky and trouble-prone space station was brought down.
Anyway, my friend took a picture of himself wearing the helmet, blew the photo up and threw in some effects, and placed it all over a background of a nebula & some stars. The words “Space Club” are sort of flying out of all this in stylized 70s font. It kicks so much ass.
Thus was my wallpaper born.
When I was on holidays in the Okanagan a few months ago, I took a picture with my digital camera of a apple orchard in bloom. When I downloaded it to the PC when I got home I was amazed. It was a gorgeous picture. Picture a shaded path with blooming apple trees on every side of the path/small road. At the “front” of the image is a small table and chairs. The path leads right to lake Okanagan in the background. I will try to upload a jpg to photopoint for all to see. Its real purty
At work: a picture i took of the Taj Mahal last March, I was amazed it’s a postcard quality photo.
At home: a picture of a Hokkien temple i took while in Singapore last march. Very cool angled shot of the front of the temple with carvings and gold decorations through a slight haze of morning.
Usually I just go to http://www.explodingdog.com and pick something that catches my eye, but right now my desktop wallpaper simply says Please do not tap on glass. People tap my monitor everytime they see that. Punks.
For the last month or so I’ve had a picture of my girlfriend as the background. A cute one too.
(And no, I’m not sharing!)
This one’s been up for a while…

PS - Thanks to Narile for linking this site a while back.
My wallpaper changes so frequently that I have a hard time keeping track. Right now its the post from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Previously it has been everything from a pVp strip to crazy images from Consuption Juction.
I have a photo of a baby saltwater crocodile floating in clear water, off one of the best crocodilian web sites on the net.

Before that, I had a different crocodile picture. And before that, another crocodile picture. Hmm, I’m sensing a theme.
This has been up for quite a while. I’d say it definitely on my wishlist. While I am not at all a fan of Pokemon, I think it would be an absolute trip to drive on a daily basis. Especially when I pull into those small towns south of the Mason-Dixon.
