What's on your computer desktop? Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

I was just curious if anyone else had pictures of their favorite crags on their computer desktop, or if it's just me.

I got a really nice landscape off this site and it is my background. It is beautiful. You are not the only one.

Mt. St. Helens webcam. Like looking out the window from time to time. It changes hourly with the weather and viewing conditions, and considering the recent tectonic activity, it's really only a matter of time. Right now it's clouded in. A few days ago there were icicles hanging down in front of the camera. At night it's blacked out, but sometimes you can see a dim glow in the crater. All the fun of camping on Johnston Ridge without the mortal danger.

I have about a dozen that I swap around fairly often. They are a set of topos that I have climbed (or plan to) and pics from previous climbs.

My wallpaper is a guy on a red Buell XB12R doing a wheelie looking straight into the camera on one of those famous California canyon roads. Although I bet the rock behind him is climbable, but i can't tell because it's blurred.

Edit: my background has changed to a picture of a guy slacklining across the Lost Arrow Spire gap

I have a nice pic of the Galaxy-class Star Trek Enterprise NCC-1701-D first launched in 2363 from Starfleet's Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars and placed under the command of Captain Jean-Luc-Picard.
The ship was Destroyed in 2371 during a mission to prevent a deranged scientist from destroying the Veridian system. If you take into account the anti-time future created by the Q continuum, the ship remained in service untill at least 2395
Hey, some trekies climb ya know!

I usually get bored after a few days, so I tend to rotate between pictures of various snow-capped mountains that require breathing apparatuses and computer generated images of starships from Star Trek.

Yeah thats right, STAR TREK! I'm all ready to go boulder some asteroids! Get 'er done! :twisted:

Mine's a picture of me silhouetted against the sky taken from one of the lookouts in Yosemite. I switch it fairly often with other pictures from verious outdoor expeditions. Almost entirely pictures that I have taken. Some of them are even in focus and of cool stuff.

looks like you named it.

I dig the tent-flap border, which creates similar psychological effects to the cabin in your own captivating shot, which rendog linked to above but I can't resist posting in here:
