What's your wallpaper/screensaver?

This topic has come up in a couple of other forums I belong to and it's been interesting to see and hear about what people use as their computer wallpaper and screensavers. On the photography forum, everyone used photographs they had taken, and on the Decades forum, they mostly used what came with the computer or something they had downloaded from the Net.

So, what does everyone use here? My screensaver is a bunch of photos I've taken and my wallpaper (which I change every couple of months) is this photo I recently took:

dreaming of flight

Come on, it's show and tell time!

Mine is odd.



It's a nice photograph. The Space Shuttle is cool. I'm particularly enamored with it, but it was an interesting background.

When I find a better photo of a roller coaster, I'll replace this

My wallpaper is a few pictures together. The back is a scene from the anime Love Hina. I put this up at the end of last school year when I was having many test. It would remind me to get of my computer and study. Then during the begianing of the summer I was playing Solitaire alot, so I put some of my good games onto my wallpaper.
I am thinking of changing my wallpaper soon for the new school year, but until then, This is what I have.

This rather interesting that this topic came up when it did...

For a while, I've been using Digital Blasphemy pictures ( www.digitalblasphemy.com ), but just last night, Michael put this link ( http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/ ) up in tigerbolt, and naturally i clicked on it . i found a really cool, and rather simple landscape program. so, with just playing around, i made a few shots. you can see them at http://wolos.d2g.com:89/terrainpics . be forwarned, some pictures are kinda big (3 MB for an 1152x864 render), so if you're on dialup, you may want to go and get a snack while you wait for it to download .

i don't know, but i kinda like the renders i've made. it's just kind of fustrating how long it takes to render some (so far, i've had one go for 2 hours and 15 minutes, while i slept). otherwise, i like playing around and making pics like this.

those arial photos have to be at least a year and a half old. our school hasn;t looked like that in a really long time, and a lot of roads by me aren't there. hehe
