We've modified a few of our favorite pictures for using as a backdrop on your computer screen. These are better than our web gallery slideshows as they've been cropped to fit on your 100% of your screen, and they are high resolution and quality. To load a file onto your screen wallpaper or backdrop, first view the file you want by selecting the file size link. If you don't know which size you need, figure out your AR (aspect ratio, width divided by height) from the list below or just pick normal. After the file loads, right click in the window and select "Set as backdrop" (Internet Explorer) or "Set as Wallpaper" and stretch. (Netscape or Firefox).

Panoramas are several pictures that have been stitched together. They are spectacular wide-angle views that are hard to achieve with a single photo. Select a thumbnail below in the file column to view the image. To save space, our panoramas have been reduced in size and quality. The originals make wonderful prints up to large poster sizes. If you wish to print one, please contact the owner for a copy of the file for best results.

Our top rated (3+) panoramas are listed here. The full set of 21 panoramas can be seen in our panorama photo listing or in the daily photos
