Desktop Wallpaper - your favourites?

[.Mark]

OK been meaning to post this for a while. I use Webshots to rotate my desktop wallpaper and also use it as a screensaver, I drop in to it all my favourite pictures the family have taken and it's a great way to relive holidays or events.
I've also dropped in a few others that I like but not many.
So I got to thinking whats your favourite picture you have taken the makes a good desktop pictire? I know the (semi)Pro's within our ranks will have loads so lets say no more than 3 each - and lets keep to the gentleman's agreement of small files for speed of thread loading (640x480 or there abouts).
If you are happy to share the full size ones say so, I know I am.
So 3 from me from a recent trip to Gozo.

Wallpaper is an interesting subject (no really!). I've found that 'normal' pictures quickly get boring; it really does need to be a background for icons, windows etc. In this respect I like the lizard one best, and the off-centre placement works.
This is my current one:

I could show you mine but it would win and i took it myself

Mrs. Fish, 1st one is my favourite, I would flip it over though so the tree is on the right so the icons don't get in the way, that's what I did with the lizard.

Simpo, I like that shot so crisp.

Dusty, what's yours mate, close up of your medallion?

He got on really well, he had slight altitude sickness but managed to push on through it, his girlfriend on the other hand couldn't make it to the top as she was so ill.

He is off climbing in Italy at the moment but if you want to know more I'm sure I can put you in touch with him

[tuscan_v8]

So is your brother climber (From Derbyshire)?

Can't decide being the key element!

Actually, I left it at home.
You'll like it though , going on your preferred style for desktop pics.
