Some lush "Elegant Linux" wallpapers, and a variety of dark-desktop-suitable HDRI photo images by Charlie-Henson on deviantArt.

I've grabbed quite a few already Some samples....

@damo, outstandiong. I especially like the low-light HDR color shots starting on pages 4 and 5, absolutely stunning and perect for desktop backgrounds.

In my opinion, it seems a Monster bike

Nice sparkly Twilight paint job too! (EDIT: Actually, the color is closer to G3 Cherry Blossom. )

Off-topic, I finally found an explanation for why the grooves on front tires on these superbikes are reversed:

I guess it makes sense. Might consider reversing the front tire on my bike, but frankly, they always find traction, even in deep standing water.

^ Hmmm. What happens to the water in the tyre grooves at constant speed then? I would prefer to see an explanation from a tyre manufacturer, rather than an arbitrary reddit poster.

^ Found this from Dunlop: http://www.dunlopmotorcycletires.com/care/faq/#faq-3

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. On a rear-drive motorcycle, all forces on the front tire (braking, steering, even maintaining a straight line) are drag. If the front tire hydroplanes, its slower motion relative to the road means the "reversed" pattern would better disperse water in that situation as well.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled wallpapers.

Some nice walls at BL Deviantart, you should check 'em out.

Adorn your desktop with a respin of a master. My favorites from the recent V. van Gogh tilt-shift series (6 walls). There are several more online, just do a search.

I showed my wife ... and said I want another monitor. So now I need to ask, "Did you hear the laughing?"

Those are awesome.

Nice and I found this for those times you aren't working:

Gotta love a man with a sense of humour.

Loose control! Oh my friend, sadly I must tell you - we never had it!
And if you thought we did at one time ... it was a grand illusion perpetuated by 'them'.

Nice for single monitors too, use the whole image Zoom/Filled or use the left - right links under the wall to DL half the image...

Problem is I have way to many images to always have to change setting in nitrogen for some ... All my images are exact size. and "Centred"

Left|right links? I did see any of those.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NICE!

Change the setting to Zoomed Fill, that will fill the screen with the entire image cropped properly to your desktop ratio everytime. Centered gives you the image full-size, but will crop way more of a large image and will be bordered with the desktop background color on small images.

Left|right links? I did see any of those.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NICE!

damo · 2016-07-14 00:18:49

^ BTW, BL uses 'zoomed fill' as default in the nitrogen config.
