Is your "Desktop" a travel pic?
 

If so, which one and is it one of your own or someone elses? Does it reflect somewhere you've been or someplace you are planning to go to next?

I've recently purchased a new computer and in transferring some of my travel photos to the new system I got to check out some past trips I've not looked at in a year or so. Thus, on my desktop is a really cool interior shot of Le Bistro de Paradou, (in Paradou) where we had a delightful lunch back in May 2003. Having recently moved, I now wish I'd waited to purchase a new dining room table and tried to find one of those nifty marble topped tables on glossy black wrought iron base.....ah well, I'll have to just be satisfied with the memories!

Yes, it's my own photo of Notre Dame in Paris. It reflects a place I've visited quite a few times and wish to return to continuously.

Yes, it's my own photo of the Eiffel Tower. It was taken May 2005 while strolling back from dinner and shows the tower against a beautiful pink sky reflecting the day's end. I smile each time my computer turns on. ((#))

We sure do have one- View of Bay of Sorrento from our hotel's terrace. It's a picture we took.

Funny, we went to the Bistro du Paradou in July, 2003 and absolutely loved it-both the food and the ambiance.

Yes. Right now it's a picture of the sunset over Riga that I took last month -

But I change it every week or so. And my screensaver is a rotating slideshow of pictures from various trips.

It is always a travel picture, sometimes one of mine and sometimes not, sometimes a place I have been and others a place I long to go.

Right now, I have a picture of the Sicilian countryside that I downloaded from National Geographic website. They have great pictures you can use for your desktop.

This is the photo:

Of course, and I change it weekly. Currently, it is spring flowers in Sicily.

Mine is a picture of the house that we have rented in Uzès. I've left some of my soul in that town.

Usually it is -- either one of mine from a recent trip or one I've found on the internet. Sometimes it's the grandkids -- but right now it is a shot from MARCH OF THE PENGUINS.

Sunset over Lake Como from Bellagio - silvery reflections glittering in the water in front of blue mountains.

This is fun! I realised I needed to post this picture someplace so I could provide a url to share (hope this works!):

I use a close up facial picture of a monkey staring at me from the balcony of my room in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It was on our way home from a Medical releif visit to The East of Sri Lanka after the Tsunami disaster of Dec 2004.

I have picture of the bay in Sorrento I took last May.

the wall paper isn't a travel picture, a close up picture of my cat's face. However, my screen saver is of my pictures of my London Trip, the first trip that I went digital and made it easy to use the pictures as screen saver.

Oh definitly. I use my own photos and change them whenever I feel like it. My screen saver is a rotating set of about 25 of my photos.

My current desktop is: http://www.pbase.com/annforcier/image/47922974
which is the view we had from our hotel room terrace in Taormina last month.

It's been fun looking at eveyone's desktop choices.

My home desktop is usually a new picture of my dog.

The work desktop changes as trips get planned and after the trip ends. Right now, it's not one of my own travel pictures, but is &quot;The Kiss&quot; by Klimt to remind me of my recent trip to Vienna. &quot;The Kiss&quot; was so overused on Vienna souvenirs that I couldn't help but want it on my desktop!

I have a picture of the lake in Estes Park, CO. It’s been years since I lived there but oh, how I miss those mountains.

Of course, I change it every so often to Venice and Paris. Life must go on, and the thirst for travel is never quenched.

Lol Robespierre, I’d have nightmares looking at your desktop.

I use my travel photos in my screen saver but my desktop is a picture of my dog. Priorities, ya know.
