Some great desktop wallpapers?
I've been searching for a nice wallpaper for ages. What are some of the best you've got? No naked or semi-naked women on motorcycles, please. I'm looking for landscape or high-res designs, etc.

Widescreen is good, and high-res, doesn't matter to me specifically, though. Long as it looks nice I can adjust it myself.

The wallpaper and hi-res areas of 4chan are actually great resources for wallpapers, a lot less dumb stuff in there than in other areas of 4chan. Though still some nudity, animated and otherwise.

Get Windows 7 which has a slideshow option for wallpapers.
I've got 50+ from that site in a folder and have my wallpaper change every 10 minutes -- I never get tired.

They're not all just high-res anime ones are they?

They have an anime section, and they have a general section for non-anime wallpapers. And a "hires" section for really high res images that aren't necessarily wallpapers, but can often be clipped or resized and used as such.

For aviation buffs, airliners.net is a treasure trove. I have about 1200 images from there that rotate once a minute randomly.

But they should install a voting system or something... taking an 800x600 image and upscaling it to 1920x1200 does not make a good 1920x1200 wallpaper!
