A picture is worth a thousand words....and even if it wasn't, nobody likes opening up their laptop or phone to see the Windows logo stare back at them (except maybe Bill Gates!). So here are 5 sites from which you can download, for free, beautiful wallpaper to feast your eyes on.
National Geographic
This magazine is legendary for its award winning photography, and the online site gives you access to the magazine's huge database of beautiful photos. And its not just animals- national geographic features photographs of everything from exotic countries and their people to outer space. The My Shot competition photos are pictures submitted by other viewers, and are well worth taking a look at. If you are after classy, professional, awe-inspiring photography, this is the place to go.
Digital Blasphemy
Created by Ryan Bliss, this site has only got 20 pictures on its free gallery, but if you become a member you have access to many many more. Even without membership though, the 20 free pictures are extraordinary enough to captivate anyone. Bliss's work is so beautiful you may download one picture and never want to change your wallpaper again! The pictures are all digitally created and the majority of them are land or spacescapes of an astounding, haunting quality.
Mythical Ireland
Kerem Gogus' work is similar to Ryan Bliss's, but with a more mythical twist. Also of astounding quality, if you are into fantastical magical worlds, these are the visualisations for you.
Webshots
Webshots is a platform for photo sharing, this link allows you to download the free webshots desktop that allows you to easily download and share wallpapers and photos, as well as manage your own photo files on your computer in a much easier manner than windows picture and fax viewer!Webshots have a humongous collection of images to choose from.
Google
If you know what you want (e.g. pictures of fat Labrador puppies) -type it into Google!
