What's your desktop wallpaper?

Yaay, Iron Maiden!

I had a metallica desktop background for a long time, and many X-files ones before that

 

I love to travel and on my desktop right now I have a photo of a bridge over water in Brugge, Belgium (one of my favorite places in Europe). But I like to chage my scenery every so often.

I am still technically a newlywed, so I am here to say without shame that my desktop is my favorite wedding picture. Even worse, my screensaver is a slide show of all my wedding pictures.

 

This is my brand new desktop wallpaper.

It's big, and very cool.

 

I have a rather abstract steampunk wallpaper. That's my flavorite kind.

Wrey! I made you one!

Just kidding.

 

I actually have a smarty-pants background

 

Here's mine. I took it myself.



And here's the one I had before that.

 

This is the current wallpaper on my fiance's desktop:



And no, that's not me he's sitting with. I found the picture and was like hmm...who is that female? So I put it as his wallpaper. For funsies.

 

Mine is very plain and featuring my favorite art.

In my fanboy excitement for the recent announcement:

This is mine. It's the image of Galaxy M101 from the Hubble Space Telescope site. I look at it to remind me of the blurb that went with the image:

 

My current...

 

If you don't have a PRINT SCREEN button, then you should have FN and INSERT. Hold down Fn (near Ctrl) and Insert (top right - should have "prt sc" in a box under the word Insert) and then paste into Paint or whatever.
Took me ages to find that, wondering WHY THE HELL they would omit print screen haah.

 

lol mine is kind of lame but I love it... it is stone henge

 

Im sorry, I am a caveman, how do you get the pics in this thread, you press prt sc to capture the image of your desktop and then what? Press it again to paste it?

 

...well, very anti-climactically, here is my current desktop image.

Its a painting called 'nighthawks' by Edward Hopper

Im stuck in this retro phase right now and cant shake it, I think fallout 3 had something to do with it.

I always loved imagining being in the past, its a way for me to fantasize...

 

Funny thing is, that picture was described in a novel I just finished reading (The Black Echo, by Michael Connelly)

 

really? whats it about/setting?

 

The picture was on the living room wall of a female FBI agent he was getting interested in. The main character remembered being mesmerized by the original painting when it was on display in a Chicago museum. He surmised that he identified with the lone diner watching the couple across from him.

 

ahhh...

I think I like the painting because alot of Hopper's stuff, asside from being in an era I adore, is very voyeurish. I feel like a peeping tom, and I love that feeling. Creepy, but it makes me think of a story of why Im there and looking at the unsuspecting people
