I'm always on the hunt for cool looking wallpapers, so I thought that this could make for a useful thread. Just post your favorite wallpapers so people can download them. Image only please, and link to the full size. No print screens/screenshots.
I'll start with some of my favorites. All full size images are 1680x1050:

Jeff Tweedy, Glen Kotche and John Stirrat, three members of Wilco, from their concert last Saturday. I took the photo.

Can't link my current...it's a modified picture of a female friend.
Besides, I only use backgrounds that I modify heavily to fit my colour scheme.
I will say I do similar to skyz and use the APotD as a homepage, though. I've been known to peruse wallpaper sites for appealing images, too.

Um, I usually use pics of me and Cody kissing or something. Like the one in my av. I'd be disturbed if anyone but Joel (the matchmaker) were to want to use it. :)

I ripped these from the 'wildlife' thread that goes on over at sherdog. You can go look for badgers but its like 55 pages though.
You've got to d/load some of these ones and view at full FULL screen. I am freaking out over that wolfs eyes.
