The Best of the Best Page 1

My Favorite Wallpaper

I find that most wallpaper sites are pretty lame and focus more on bikini shots and other such pictures (though I haven't the faintest idea why people would want to display that on their desktop). I find that the best wallpaper is scattered across the Internet and is hard to find if you are looking just for wallpaper. I have decided that I should share my hard-earned wallpaper with all of you. I don't remember where I got all of this stuff, but I link to the sites when I can remember. These sites aren't very "safe for kids and family friendly." The only exception is Taner.net, which is a pretty cool site (if you like cars).

To make this page, I had to make several different versions and link to the different versions. Though I have double-checked the links, I still don't feel confident that they are all right. If you find something wrong with this page, feel free to e-mail me.

If you don't know how to change your wallpaper, Big Idea has a good set of instructions.

Cars

The interior of a BMW M3.

A good shot of a Mercedes-Benz SLR.

Another good shot of an SLR.

The top view of a Konigsegg.

A rather minimalist background picture of a M3. I think I got this from FlashKit.com. It took a guy three hours to make this.

A nice shot of a Porsche 911.

An Audi A4.

Pictured here, from left to right, are a RennTech CLK, an older 911 Turbo, and a new 911 Turbo.

A nice shot of a 911 GT3.

An artsy picture of a Saab 9.3 Viggen.

Nature

Fish

A beach somewhere.

Some cliffs somewhere else. I think I got this from the PiranhaClub.com.

One of my favorite beach shots. I'm not sure palm trees can grow at such an angle, though. I think I got this from WebShots Community.

Note: I put the 1024x768 in just because I had it around. It's really just the 800x600 blown up.

Another beach picture from WebShots with a palm tree growing at an insane angle.

Computers

Spice up 'ol Windows with a nice picture of a Mac. This one is from The Apple Collection.

Another good Mac background

This one didn't last long on our desktop. I guess my dad wants to be close-minded or something.

The default Mac OS X background. Great for a PC!

The default Windows XP background. Great for a Mac!

Note: Since most Macs run at 1024x768, I made a 1024x768 version out of the 800x600, so don't expect a big resolution gain with the 1024x768 version.

Architecture

A big house with plenty of room for icons in the grass and sky.

A weird shot of a building. I don't think this one ever made it onto our desktop.

I put this one up, and my dad promptly took it down. (You can see where he works.)

London in all of it's long-exposure splendor.

Other

One of my all-time favorites. My mom hates this one, though. (From www.Taner.net)

The classic Get Smart intro.

My dad usually replaces the backgrounds he doesn't like with this one. It is Big Idea's takeoff of a painting called Nighthawks. This scene appeared in a Veggie Tales movie.

Since I don't really like the other Veggie Tales wallpaper, my dad doesn't like the Dallas wallpaper, and my mom doesn't like the big eye, we've settled on this one. It's a scene from Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed. (That's Mr. Nezzer on the left, and Daddy Carrot on the right).
