One of the most searched for terms on the web is wallpaper apparently – I’ve done that search a fair bit myself to get a great new background for my PC. The crap you get back though is astonishing with all kinds of freeware that infests your machine with spyware. I’d all but given up on finding good wallpaper on the web apart from some of the cool images at porsche.com though cars as a background does conform to the geek stereotype a little too much.

With that in mind, I was amazed at what I found on Flickr with their 7 days of photos. There are some stunning photos here that make great wallpaper so I’ve been busy building a collection of them. Many of them would be at home in the default XP or Vista wallpaper folder. My only concern is any copyright on the images - are people just go benevolent that they’re happy for me to download their large images and keep them for my own use? Hope so :)

My favourite today
