Inspired by captainsolo's "What is on the shelf or desk next to you" thread.

My current background (right-click "View Image" for the full 1920x1200 image):

--edit--

Oh, and NSFW backgrounds MUST be linked to, not embedded, and must be clearly labeled as NSFW.

Mine was a slideshow of shots of the Refit Enterprise, but then my boss decided we really needed to show solidarity with the rest of the company since the owner won't let us let them choose their own background. So its a red version of the normally-blue background of the logo I designed, to make it obvious that we are logged into our admin accounts...

I've got a screengrab of Artoo from Ady's HD ANH.

At home we have a picture of our daughter (go figure).  At work I have a plain blue background.  I used to change the picture every once in a while until I realized I never bother to look at it.

I've got this, but it is cropped to stretch across the two monitors.

I use a plain blue background ( R 0, B 64, G 0). I find it easy on the eyes, and I think it saves ram, so I like it even more.

I've had pictures in the past, even tiled backgrounds, but after a while I get really tired of them.

I always like a minimalist approach. But if I could I would modify Windows' interface and get a complete Amiga WB makeover, just for the sake of it and because oldskool Amiga rocks!!

Picture of me and my son during our recent trip to California.

Also, ChainsawAsh, that background is truly awe-inspiring.

I work from home, so no worries about company policy, but I still posted a safe version because of the forum.  The real version doesn't have the "digital figleaf" effect.

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

Prairie Wind, Windows default, on my Mac. Tiled. It's retro, yet I still like it.

While it is pretty small, I still use this as a wallpaper.

 

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_Spinal_Tap

In order to rekindle interest, Tufnel suggests staging a performance of "Stonehenge," an epic song that is traditionally accompanied in concert by a lavish stage show, and asks Ian to order a giant Stonehenge megalith for the show. However, Tufnel mislabels the sketch's dimensions, using a double prime symbol instead of single prime. The resulting prop, seen for the first time by the group during a show, ends up only 18 inches high, making the group a laughing stock on stage. The group accuses Faith of mismanagement, and when St. Hubbins suggests Jeanine should co-manage the group, Faith quits in disgust.

nope, not that.  Just a pic of the ancient Stonehenge.

I have a picture I took during one of my many world travels. Fink mentioned never even looking at his background picture, and so therefore never changing it. I am the same way, so I just found one of the most pleasing, generic, scenery pictures I had taken, a quaint old mountain village someplace no one would know of even if I mentioned its name. It pleases me. Or at least it pleases me to think that it pleases me.
