What is on your desktop wallpaper?

So what do you like on your monitor when you turn it on. We all have different tastes on avatars and screen names and such. So what sort of tastes do you have for your wallpaper?

I tend to like some scenic landscapes.

This one is mine currently...http://worldtourdirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Schloss-Neuschwanstein-in-Germany-1.jpg

These are a couple of my other favorites...

Mine is a picture of a very small waterfall I have seen in the mountains.

Hardcore, the first link you have posted is castle Neu Schwanstein in the south of Germany.
It's a beautiful castle.
You can visit this castle but have to wait very long.

Yeah I already knew about Neuschwanstein. I originally found out about it from a poster that hangs in my living room. I wouldn't mind the wait too much as long as I would be able to be there.

On the desktop, we have Nash, the mascot for the Nashville Predators, as our wallpaper. On my laptop, I have Master Yoda.

My notebook is dedicated to Bible study only -has no wallpaper at all (wanted to keep it simple)

My Laptop and Work desktops are always so cluttered with shortcuts that I gave up on full screen Wallpaper.

So my new thing is grouping icons within "Fences" and sneaking a little picture where there's room.



ie. here's my Laptop:



and here's my Work PC:

Here is a few I use on my work computer (snagged them from some art gallery). I have a tendency to put one up and then promptly forget about it for several months.....for some reason I can't seem to remember what my home computer has (something my wife probably picked).

I just use the Windows 7 default desktop on my laptop. On the desktop, I have several light houses I switch between from time to time.

Hardcore , I have been to Neu Schwanstein, but had to wait a long time before we could go to see the castle.
It looks like a castle in a fairytaile when you see it high in the mountains.

I've been to Neu Schwanstein twice and didn't have to wait much. Go in the winter and you can get right in. The story behind it all is quite interesting.

Mine is also a tiny waterfall (cascade really), which I took in Great Smokey Mountain National Park in 2008. I really should update it to a more recent trip.

Here is a bit of trivia for those who don't know...Neuschwanstein served as inspiration for Snow White's castle at Disney.

I knew that.

However, my wife's mother's maiden name is a Neuenschwander (sp?) and somehow they have ties (many generations ago) to the castle. Definitely one of the better looking European castles. I have never seen it in person, but I lived (as a child) for a while in Germany and got to see several old castles. I'm sure it helped cultivate my life long love of castles and medieval folk-lore.

In France they have a lot of good looking castles at the river the Loire.
Some are very impressive like the Chambord castle is.

I just have the standard vista background, but that's only because my computer has just been returned to me after being away at the menders!!! Normally I have some fantasy picture of mountains and cities...

That's precisely where I am right now: Angers on the Loire. The castle is undergoing repairs, and I'll visit there with my dad sometime soon. Very cool castle.

Man that dude sure has a long tail.

He does, eh? For a juvenile, yeah.

You, my friend, are dimensionally challenged.

On another desktop of the laptop, I have something a lot like this:

There! I fixed that for you!

Stop rolling on the floor. I just cleaned there and I don't want dirt on it!

Just kidding, as always

Currently mine is a family picure of myself with my wife and two boys sitting in the valley of A fjiord (sp?) in the tablelands on Newfoundlands west coast. I love the picture and there is lots of good background colour to allow the icons to show.

Having visited the Alps today (~3800 m up, I was wearing shorts! ), I snapped this shot with the phone. My dad has far better pictures, but I'm too impatient for him to download them.


(I have a bigger copy available)

I've gone through several album covers and band logos, then I started putting pictures of my wife and kids on there, but since I work at home and see them all the time I've started putting other things on there. Currently I have a picture I found called "quiet chaos" that really amuses me in some bizarre way. It is a picture of a distressed-looking mother with three crying babies. The twist is...they're mimes! I don't know why that amuses me so much.

Mimes give me the shivers. Don't know why....I just don't care for them.

And the mimes of life, they sing to me…
