Free Desktop Wallpaper Pictures
Abstract photography by Robin Supak
Since man first started using computers, he's wanted a desktop wallpaper picture of something he loves under his open windows. It's comforting to have a familiar site, a mind-boggling pattern, or a scenic high resolution nature photograph as the background for computer desktops. Some people paid for their computer backgrounds, but, as the internet grew, more people started offering their own photography and graphic designs as free desktop wallpaper, and more and more people started wanting to download free wallpaper and backgrounds.
As browsers became more powerful, allowing web page backgrounds, people started offering customized images for use as web site backgrounds. When social networking sites started allowing people to customize their sites, the old computer background images started popping up as Livejournal and Myspace backgrounds. What a shame that Facebook doesn't allow more customization of personal and business sites, although that hasn't stopped FB users from downloading free wallpaper and using it as their profile pictures.
