There's been a few desktop threads but they're years old so let's start a new one ! What images are you currently rocking ?

(P.S. I'll say it now so the mods don't have to: No nudity)

I always go for landscapes. Usually Norway.. this one is Tuscany, Italy.

Ben, your desktop is a field...... mine is a 'pond'

this is off my PC at work, it helps me get through the day.

I recognise not this redhead... but I imagine it doth help ease one's burden



Volcanic scree slopes ?? It reminds me of Wast Water in the Lake District.



You're going for the Chilean Miner vibe !

I feel like a minimalist, can't stand all those extra icons everywhere!

I tend to use darker backgrounds, so that it doesn't give off a ton of light, but still looks good.



Edit: Just clicked auto color in photoshop.

Looks better in brown/orange overtones! Wooo! happy wallpaper day!

I think the first looks better !! It looks like Thief but it's not is it ?

If i show you mine desktop, i would have to kill you!

Posted by: klasaine Nov 4 2013, 10:05 PM

Sans icons and apps.

Posted by: SpaseMoonkey Nov 4 2013, 10:09 PM

Yes sir, Thief is correct!

Posted by: Darius Wave Nov 5 2013, 11:07 AM

AK...is it possible at all to see making going outside and doing photos with no snow in background ? I mean...do You ever have "days without a snow" out there ?

Sure man! Yeah we have pretty nice summers up here, our high temp for this summer was 91 F or 32.7 C. Here are a couple shots from the later part of the summer taken from my deck.
This one looks southeast.

Of all the desktop images I have seen so far , this one is my favorite.

Posted by: SpaseMoonkey Nov 6 2013, 03:57 AM

Well an hour later I finally found a new wallpaper. Much needed change after looking at my current one for months!

Something is wrong with me, if it's not dark and crazy I dislike it.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 6 2013, 09:40 AM

Not necessarily... fantastical imagery takes us somewhere else.. that's what fantasy is for !!

Speaking of dark imagery, I recently finished the game Dante's Inferno.. the imagery in that game is stunning !

Posted by: SpaseMoonkey Nov 6 2013, 10:57 AM

I love that game! The things people will do for love.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 6 2013, 12:13 PM

Awesome ! A lot of people slated it but I thought it was brilliant ! BEATRIIIIIIICE

I also have this one which I like a lot!

Taking screenshots of my desktop @ 4.33am in the morning, happy weekend!
My desktop is huge (2560x1600 Ultra HD), with pretty much nothing on it - nice and clean. I've resized it down for size. I like it but change the images around every now and then, last time I had Farcry 3. Try figure out what that creature is?

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Nov 8 2013, 06:21 PM

That is cool indeed! I wish it was 2880x900!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Nov 9 2013, 08:54 AM

Aye I know what you mean, but for me, it's all about the meaning of the journey ahead of this man you see in the image

Posted by: MonkeyDAthos Nov 9 2013, 09:00 PM

i don't think mine is very appropriate....lets just leave it like that

Posted by: Opetholic Nov 9 2013, 09:24 PM

Really nice desktop images shared here. Although I must say I am a little surprised: I would expect to see some music related stuff

Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 10 2013, 10:12 AM

Yeah, I think some people like to use their desktop to express things that they are interested in and some use it to project back relaxing imagery. I'm definitely one of the latter types

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Nov 10 2013, 02:32 PM

I agree with Ben I like relaxing nature pictures too!
