I love National Geographic photography and I love that they make so much of it available as desktop wallpapers. I’ve downloaded a few dozen of their wallpaper images over the years, along with other cool photos from elsewhere (with permission!) to use on my computers. Unfortunately, given the way I work, I almost never see the wallpaper on any of my computers. At work I used to run a piece of wallpaper manager software that would flip the wallpaper to a new image every few minutes and also show it as the screensaver, so once in awhile I’d get a glimpse of the cool photos I’d collected. It’s been mostly a useless exercise, but I still like to browse NG images now and then. They’ve put together a set of what they’re calling their Best Wallpapers of 2009 (I saw the link in their Twitter feed). My favorite pretty pictures from this set are: this (I’m a sucker for high saturation) and this (dolphins!).
