A photo we took at the Tour de France, in York - we got the yellow jersey, King of the Mountains and one of the Sky team bang in shot, just yards away.
Took it a couple of years ago but annoyingly on the wrong file size >:( to do a good desktop so plan to return to do more shots.......except it's 1250 miles away so has to wait until next year!
Classic album covers. Either the cover of a classic album, or a cover that I consider is a classic piece of artwork. I change the image every month. This month it's:
Selected for two reasons: a) It's a classic album and b) I will be seeing her at the Apollo next Tuesday (in concert that is, not personally. I don't have that kind of luck).
I've got the chicken shop logo from Breaking Bad that I put on ages ago. I hardly ever use the pc now so I havent bothered to change it. On the laptop and ipad, it's a picture of my daughter that she put on so my other daughter would think I was picking favourites. When I change it, she changes it back.
Y'know, I couldn't actually tell you what my desktop wallpaper is without checking first.
I like it that way though.
Trouble is, whenever I bother to put a decent picture on my desktop, it always ends up obscuring icons and making the desktop look cluttered so I prefer unobtrusive, bland desktops.
*EDIT*
I just checked, it's a sort of blurry, pastel-blue, fish and swirly-bits, W8-themed picture.
I used to change my iPad wallpaper daily and loved the different images.
Then I stupidly installed an update and because of Apple being crap, every picture became too big, even after resizing, takings screenshots etc, to fit.
Only very few, after a lot of messing about, are able to be used, so that avenue of pleasure has been curtailed.
I change it almost daily, sometimes more than once, depending on my mood. I have a folder in my photo gallery just for iPad wallpaper.
It's been 'Vitruvian Man' for a few days now.
Edit - just realised I already posted on this thread! I'm pleased to say that my previous problems have been resolved and I can now use the photos that I want to.
What I assume to be a pint glass of Carlsberg Special Brew on a table next to a can of the stuff. Actualy, I did one combining a selfie, one of the Hulme Arch in Manchester in the usual software a couple of years ago and I think I've still got it as well as the one I did in XPDG7 using two photographs of a pint glass and can of Kronenbourg 1664 complete with clip art called GET THE BEERS IN.
Who said I have to do anything normal with my photographs and Paintshop Pro?
On the desktop a picture of a turtle I took while diving. It's just beginning a dive from the surface, and the pic is taken from just under the water about 4 ft away if that. The water surface has just fragmented, which matches the pattern on its shell.
On one laptop an adapted version of this b/w Sandman picture http://schmoesknow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/sandman.jpg
On the other one, a classic Steve Ditko Doctor Strange in another dimension drawing from 'Strange Tales' c1965 http://isotopecomics.com/wp-content/files_flutter/th_a19ac28b5fa6115cd4ab92441dd7cef2_1323296477ditko.jpg (all the icons fit into the shapes)
And hundreds of ducks in a river race on the Eee I still love for travelling.
I've had that for a while though - may be time for a change...
I too have had two snow leopard cubs as my wallpaper for a long time.
I think that they are beautiful animals, but I was toying with switching to a giant panda just as the Ched Evans thing blew up recently.
Naturally, as a woman, just the word rape makes my blood run cold, but I studied the case intently, I read everything published in magazines and civilised newspapers, I wouldn't use a tabloid even on the bottom of a birdcage.
I read as many posts on DS as I could, not all though I have to admit.
I came to the conclusion that he was just a dumb guy with his brains in his scrotum, like a lot of men.
But as far as I can see he was unjustly treated by Britain's justice system, railroaded, then continually vilified.
Of course he shouldn't have been in that bed in that hotel, doing whatever he did, but in MY opinion, let me stress MY opinion, he is NOT a rapist.
Consequently, in solidarity with him, I have Mr. Evans photo as the wallpaper on my iMac, but a panda on my laptop.
To close I'd like to put it on record that if Jessica Ennis were to run a race past my house, I wouldn't even look out of the window.
My one is a changing blob of colour up in the left hand corner, sometimes it is black and sometimes white with black lines shimmering down the screen. Strange as it only appeared when I dropped the bloody thing. It is now hard to see the screen. Dear Santa.......
