Wallpaper pics

Whenever I do a repair or restoration for someone's computer, I offer them a collection of photos to use as backgrounds for their desktops. Several of us have posted scenes from different parts of the world on another site I visit and I thought some of you might enjoy the scenery. Feel free to use them yourselves if you are so inclined. None were previously posted with any copyright notice, so I'm sure it's ok.

Not sure how to send them all at once, plus it would make too big a file, so I'll just post a few individually. Enjoy.

Nice one.

But it becomes pixelated with my desktop resolution.

Nice idea, Red.

I offer this photo of Ol' London Town, taken this October.

That's Waterloo Bridge, and the dill pickle is the new Swiss Bank building.

Had to compress it a lot - hope the res is OK if you download it.

This is slightly amusing... I just tried putting in the first one and when I hit the apply button WMP which was maximized in my second monitor switched to a different skin (I use classic) and Mozilla's window was resized.

Good pics, thanks for sharing

My little gift to you all.

56k users, use at your own risk.

This is all of the landscapes and cityscapes that I have collected. You'll have to browse it for now, but I'm planning on putting them up in an php pichosting app soon. (relatively)

I got most of them from free wallpaper sites over the past few years.

Most came from a site that I can no longer link, since they have changed to a PG-13 or R rated site, and have taken down all city/landscapes.

Thanx again, Mr N8. Any copywrites on those you're aware of? Don't need an RIAA episode, ya know?

LOL! I forgot about that. Where did you find that one?

It was a custom 404 page a came across a while ago. I must have saved it in the wrong folder.
