What kind of desktop backgrounds?

Just a curiosity, but what kinds of backgrounds do folks have on their computer screens? I rotate images now and then, the current one is a shot I took at a Watkins Glen F-1 event:

nice, I keep two folders that I have on rotation. Car Art - that is my background - these are mostly drawn pictures, old brochures/ renderings/ ads etc that I just throw in the folder when I see one. Here is an example:

and the second folder - pics - is my screen saver

Mine is a slide show... I have a folder of pics that I took from trips that I have taken and the pics come up in a random order and keep changing.

Some are show photos, some are historical car/military subjects that run as a slide show

One of my favorites:

Anaheim Mobil, 1956 (2).jpg



Can a gas station inspire awe? We think it can. This marvelous modern Mobil once adorned the intersection of Harbor and Katella, catty-corner from Disneyland's expansive parking lot. Its four exuberant canopies were arranged in a neat diamond pattern - each magically balanced on a single central support - and topped by a flying red Pegasus.


For these images, architects Whitney Smith and Wayne Williams enlisted the talents of their friend, famed photographer Julius Shulman. Shulman staged the photo on the spur of the moment, with a customer's red car and the wife of one of the architects, driving her own Austin-Healey convertible, with white gloves, in the foreground. Anaheim's ubiquitous orange trees, loaded with fruit, border the blacktop in the distance.​

Yes I like Walt's background but he really should get something car related.
