Bring Nature’s Design to your Desktop

Bring Nature’s Design to your Desktop

I discovered this site today called Desktopography which is a non-profit project, launched in 2005 by a group of designers. They are striving to create a site where people can download nature and topological themed wallpapers with edits from selected designers.

What we see everyday can affect our mood and state of mind, enhance your desktop with a wallpaper creation from desktopography and feel the essence of nature and the outdoor existence on your computer. Bring tranquility to your desktop, feel the wilderness and give your background a breath of fresh air..


Here are a few of my favourites but there are lots more in a range of sizes including widescreen - highy recommended if you are a nature lover and enjoy quality art work.

Free Animal Wallpapers to Download

Free Animal Wallpapers to Download

The National Geographic Site of which I am a huge fan allows photographers to submit photographs to Your Shot” where 12 photos are chosen each day and displayed in the Daily Dozen”. Two photographs are then chosen each month from the “Daily Dozen” to be published in the National Geographic Magazine so it is excellent exposure for photographers if you are lucky enough to be selected. They also offer all of the selected “Your Shot” photos to be downloaded as wallpapers and these are a selection from the animals category - quite stunning and all free.
