Is your "Desktop" a travel pic?

I change my desktop background as often as every few days on all three of the computers I use on a daily basis. They all have my photos, and they all have a screen saver of hundreds of photos from my travels on 5 continents.
Let's see. Right now, the laptap has a lighthouse on Kauai. My PC at home has a lovely view overlooking Hanauma Bay (my BIL and wife are on Oahu right now and this helps me think about them and wish I was there...) and my PC at work has a beach photo from Aitutaki Cook Islands, South Pacific.
Some day I hope be share my travel photos on the web.
Enjoy your travels.

I'm not a picture taker. I didn't have my own. With thanks to both djkbooks and Robespierre, who gave me recommendations... I have the most lovely street scene of Paris with the Eiffel tower rising behind with the bluest sky. Quick Paris fix. I'm going to change it often as well...

LuvMaine - I can't believe you have a pic of the Bridge of Flowers as your desktop! I live 20 minutes from there and it is very nice but I would never have thought of it as in the same league with all the European sites I love. Just goes to show you how we can ignore "gems" in our own backyard. I think I'll run over there this afternoon and take a photo of it. Thanks for reminding me that there are great places right near our own homes - helps to sustain us when we can't be traveling.

I've downloaded free wallpapers and screen savers from the internet.
At work I have wallpaper of a scene in Venice.
At home, the wallpaper is a Monet "Waterlilies" and the screen saver is a series of 8-10 pictures of Venice that change in sequence.

My current desktop is this shot from our recent stay in Capri:

And I can personally vouch for ms_go's shot of Riga, mentioned previously. It's really beautiful!

Mine is a picture I took on one of our hikes in Chamonix one month ago.

Hi Isabel: the photo was taken by my husband in May, and the bridge was at its "height" with spring flowers and flowering trees. I had visited it before in the fall and wanted to see it in another season; it is truly a gorgeous shot.

My best friend’s daughter gave me a beanie baby several years ago to take on vacation with me and I take Cheeser on all my trips. My desktop is a picture of Cheeser in front of Big Ben. It makes me reminisce and laugh at the same time.

Apparently we have very strict controls here. LOL

I change my desk top pictures on my home and work computer all the time and 90 percent of them are travel pictures we took (the other ten percent of the time, they are of our cats).
Right now, my home computer has a picture I took in Cinque Terre, my wife's computer has a Yosemite picture, and my work computer is of The Hitching Post (the restaurant in Sideways). I guess I must be in the mood for wine (but no f+#@**# merlot).
